About Lowerhouses CofE Primary School

If you're a parent considering Lowerhouses CofE Primary School, the numbers suggest it's a popular choice locally. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 20 first-preference applications for its 20 places, meaning every family who put it first got a spot. However, overall applications totalled 30, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.5, so it's not a school you can take for granted. The school is a Church of England primary in Kirklees, with a nursery on site for children from age three. With 198 pupils against a capacity of 231, there is some room, but the first-preference fill rate shows strong local demand.
