About Ossett Flushdyke Junior and Infant School

Ossett Flushdyke Junior and Infant School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2013 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2022. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results, where 87% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well above the Wakefield local authority average of 64%, placing the school 10th out of 97 primary schools in the area and inside the top 5% nationally. The previous inspection, back in 2008, had rated the school Outstanding overall, so the current Good rating represents a slight step down, but the most recent data shows the school is still delivering strong academic outcomes for its pupils.
