About Littletown Junior Infant and Nursery School

Littletown Junior Infant and Nursery School sits within the Kirklees local authority, where it ranks 11th out of 94 primary schools — comfortably inside the top 25 per cent of its peers. The school’s ranking score of 79 places it behind the top three in the area: Carlton Junior and Infant School, Netherthong Primary School, and St Peter’s Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior, Infant and Early Years School. For families weighing up options in Kirklees, Littletown offers a strong local alternative to these higher-ranked neighbours. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It has no religious character, and is led by headteacher Caroline Howarth. With 169 pupils against a capacity of 175, it is nearly full, and the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 29 per cent — a figure that gives some indication of the community it serves.
