Thurstonland Endowed Voluntary Controlled First School

About Thurstonland Endowed Voluntary Controlled First School

Thurstonland Endowed Voluntary Controlled First School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, a change from the Outstanding grade it received in its previous inspection in 2013. The inspection report awarded Good across all four graded categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management, as well as for early years provision. The school’s most informative exam metric is its Key Stage 2 performance, where it achieved a score of 60, matching the local authority average for Kirklees. This places it in a solid position among primary schools in the area, though it sits below the top-performing local peers such as Carlton Junior and Infant School, Netherthong Primary School, and St Peter’s Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior, Infant and Early Years School, which all rank higher on the local league table. With just 61 pupils on roll and a capacity of 72, the school is small and intimate, and its low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 1.6%, suggests a relatively advantaged intake.
