About Streethouse Junior, Infant and Nursery School

Streethouse Junior, Infant and Nursery School is a state primary in the Wakefield local authority, where it ranks 95th out of 97 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it firmly in the bottom tier of schools in the area, well behind the top-performing local peers such as Jerry Clay Academy, Horbury Bridge Church of England Junior and Infant Academy, and Larks Hill Junior and Infant School, each of which achieved a ranking score of 93. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It has no religious character and is led by headteacher Nikkie Wright. With 103 pupils on roll against a capacity of 131, the school is operating below its full capacity, though it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, receiving 17 applications for 9 places and offering all 9 first-preference places. Over 43 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and indicative of the school's role in a community with higher-than-average disadvantage.
