About Holywell Green Primary School

Holywell Green Primary School sits within Calderdale, a local authority home to 82 primary schools, where just seven hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself ranks 42nd out of 73 primaries in the borough on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of Calderdale schools. Among its top-performing local peers are St Mary's CofE (VC) J and I School, All Saints' CofE Primary School, and The Greetland Academy — the latter being the nearest Outstanding-rated school, just 1.6 kilometres away. Holywell Green is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth form provision. It is led by headteacher Robert Cook and currently has 142 pupils on roll, well below its capacity of 210, which suggests the school has room to grow.
