Hebden Royd CofE Primary School
About Hebden Royd CofE Primary School
Hebden Royd CofE Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 26 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.73. Of those 26 applicants, 17 put Hebden Royd as their first preference, and all 15 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a school that parents in Calderdale trust and actively want their children to attend. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. Headteacher Robert Paton leads a relatively small school of 108 pupils, which is actually three over its official capacity of 105. Just over 18% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is a useful benchmark when comparing the school’s outcomes with its local peers.
