Old Town Primary School

About Old Town Primary School

Old Town Primary School in Calderdale stands out sharply against the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for primary schools sits at 59, but Old Town has earned an overall Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a distinction held by only seven of the 82 primary schools in the borough. That alone signals a school performing well above the typical Calderdale primary. The school’s most recent graded inspection, in November 2023, awarded top marks across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Outstanding. This is a clear upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2016, when early years provision and leadership were both judged as Requires Improvement. For parents comparing options, the gap between Old Town’s current rating and the LA average is striking: this is a small school that has not just met but exceeded local norms.
