About Hepworth Junior and Infant School

Hepworth Junior and Infant School is a Good-rated primary in Kirklees, a judgement it has held across both its most recent inspections. The 2023 ungraded inspection confirmed the school remains Good, and the most recent graded inspection, in 2013, also awarded Good for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. The strongest academic metric available is the school's performance in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 tests, where 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well above the Kirklees local authority average of 60% and places Hepworth 10th out of 94 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top 11% locally. Nationally, it ranks in the top 10% of all primary schools on this measure, a strong showing for a small village school.
