About Warwick Road Primary School

Warwick Road Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent ungraded inspection in 2024, where inspectors confirmed the school 'remains Good'. The school's academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 70% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the Kirklees local authority average of 60%, placing Warwick Road 24th out of 94 primary schools in the area and in the top 28% nationally. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard, with 13% of pupils achieving greater depth across all three subjects. Individual subject scores are solid too: an average reading score of 105, maths at 106, and notably 81% of pupils reaching the expected standard in maths specifically, compared with 79% in reading and 77% in writing.
