About Hade Edge Junior, Infant and Nursery School

Hade Edge Junior, Infant and Nursery School sits well below the Kirklees local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, but at Hade Edge only 33% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That places the school 91st out of 94 primary schools in Kirklees, putting it in the bottom 5% locally and the bottom 5% nationally. The gap is starkest in maths, where just 42% of pupils met the expected standard compared with a much higher proportion across the borough. Reading fares better, with 83% reaching the expected level and 25% achieving a higher standard, but writing and maths both lag significantly. The school’s overall Ofsted rating of Requires Improvement, from a November 2023 inspection, reflects these academic concerns, with leadership and management and the quality of education both judged to require improvement.
