About The Greetland Academy

The Greetland Academy sits within Calderdale, a local authority with 82 primary schools, and it has carved out a strong reputation for itself. According to the most recent data, the school ranks third in the local authority, placing it just behind St Mary's CofE (VC) J and I School, All Saints' CofE Primary School, and Bowling Green Academy, which occupy the top spots. It is one of only seven schools in Calderdale to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a distinction it has maintained across its last two inspections, including the most recent graded inspection in 2021. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a capacity of 420 pupils and a current roll of 396. Its headteacher, Helen Crowther, leads a school where just over 10% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some indication of the catchment's mix.
