About St Thomas CE Primary School

St Thomas CE Primary School sits in Kirklees, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score for primary schools is 60. The school itself does not have published KS2 results in the available data, so it is not possible to say whether it meets, exceeds, or falls short of that benchmark. What is clear from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 is that the school has been rated Requires Improvement overall, a drop from its previous Good rating in 2018. This places it among a minority of schools in the area that are not yet at the Good or Outstanding standard — Kirklees has only eight Outstanding primary schools out of 144 total. The nearest Outstanding alternative, Birkby Infant and Nursery School, is 3.8 km away. For parents weighing up options, St Thomas stands out primarily for the gap between its current inspection rating and the local average performance, though without exam data the full academic picture remains incomplete.
