About Savile Town Church of England Voluntary Controlled Infant and Nursery School

Savile Town Church of England Voluntary Controlled Infant and Nursery School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a step down from the Outstanding it achieved in its previous graded inspection back in 2007. The school remains Good following an ungraded inspection in 2022, with leadership and management also judged Good. As an infant and nursery school taking children from age two to seven, it doesn't sit the standard Key Stage 2 SATs that most primary schools do, so there are no KS2 results to compare against the Kirklees local authority average of 60% reaching the expected standard. Instead, the most telling academic metric is the school's oversubscription data: for 25 places in the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 58 applications, with exactly 25 first-preference applications. That 2.32 ratio of total applications per place suggests strong local demand, and every single first-preference family was offered a place.
