About Scout Road Academy

Scout Road Academy, a state primary in Calderdale, is a school that punches well above the local average on its headline academic measures. While the Calderdale local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 sits at 59%, Scout Road Academy achieves a striking 77%. That gap of 18 percentage points places the school comfortably in the top 25% of primaries nationally and ranks it 8th out of 73 schools in the borough. The school is also oversubscribed: for its 16 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 25 total applications, with all 16 first-preference families offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.56 tells you local parents are voting with their feet, and the school’s consistent Good rating from Ofsted — held across both its 2016 and 2023 inspections — reinforces that confidence.
