Hyrstmount Junior School
About Hyrstmount Junior School
Hyrstmount Junior School sits in Kirklees, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 60. The school itself does not have published KS2 results in the data, so it is not possible to say whether it beats or trails that benchmark. What is clear from the Ofsted record, however, is that this is a school that has made a significant leap in quality. In its most recent graded inspection in November 2021, it was rated Good overall, with an Outstanding mark for personal development. That is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in January 2018, when the school was rated Requires Improvement across both overall effectiveness and leadership and management. The turnaround suggests a school that has found its footing under headteacher Matthew Leach, and the Outstanding personal development rating points to a place where pupils’ character and wellbeing are given real weight.
