Hopton Primary School
About Hopton Primary School
Hopton Primary School sits in the Kirklees local authority, where it ranks 6th out of 94 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure — comfortably inside the top 10% of its local peers. The three highest-scoring schools in the area are Carlton Junior and Infant School, Netherthong Primary School, and St Peter's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior, Infant and Early Years School, but Hopton holds its own in this company. The nearest school with an Outstanding Ofsted rating is Crowlees Church of England Voluntary Controlled Junior and Infant School, just 0.8 km away, which gives local families a strong alternative to consider. Hopton itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2022, a step down from the Outstanding it received in 2008. The current inspection found all five key areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Good, suggesting a consistent and well-run school that has maintained solid standards even after losing its top grade.
