About Scholes (Holmfirth) Junior & Infant School

Scholes (Holmfirth) Junior & Infant School sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 60, but the school itself does not publish its own KS2 results in the available data, making a direct academic comparison impossible. What is clear from the local context is that Kirklees has 144 primary schools, only eight of which hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating, and the nearest one to Scholes is New Mill Junior School, 1.6 km away. Scholes itself was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent graded inspection in March 2022, a rating it also held in its previous inspection in July 2018. The school has 184 pupils against a capacity of 222, and 21.2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools. The headteacher is Lisa Pugh.
