About Outwood Primary Academy Littleworth Grange

Parents considering Outwood Primary Academy Littleworth Grange will be reassured by the strong vote of confidence from local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 62 applications for its 46 Reception places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.35, and every one of the 46 first-preference applicants was offered a place. This level of demand suggests the school is well-regarded in the Barnsley area. While the Department for Education’s Parent View data is not available in this profile, the oversubscription figures alone signal that many families actively choose this school. The school is led by headteacher Karen Wakefield and caters for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in July 2024, confirmed that the school remains Good, building on the Good rating it received in its previous graded inspection in December 2018.
