About Outwood Primary Academy Kirkhamgate

Outwood Primary Academy Kirkhamgate sits within the Wakefield local authority, where it ranks 13th out of 113 primary schools of the same type, placing it comfortably in the top tier locally. Its ranking score of 83 puts it just behind the top three peers in the area — Jerry Clay Academy, Horbury Bridge Church of England Junior and Infant Academy, and Larks Hill Junior and Infant School, each of which scored 93. The nearest Outstanding-rated school to Kirkhamgate is Jerry Clay Academy, 1.4 kilometres away, but the school holds its own Outstanding rating too, awarded in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024. That inspection judged every area — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Outstanding. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It has 230 pupils on roll, very close to its capacity of 238, and a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 9.9 per cent.
