About Healey Junior Infant and Nursery School

Healey Junior Infant and Nursery School is a state primary in Kirklees that is currently educating more pupils than its official capacity suggests. With 411 children on roll against a capacity of 385, the school is running above its intended size, a situation that reflects strong local demand. That demand is confirmed by the school's admission data for the 2025/26 intake: it received 131 applications for just 53 places, with 49 of those going to first-preference families, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.47 applicants per place. The school's intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 36.8%, which is well above the national average for primary schools and indicates a catchment with significant economic need. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children from age three through to eleven, with nursery provision on site. Luisa Lang is the headteacher.
