About Wellhouse Junior and Infant School

Wellhouse Junior and Infant School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The most recent graded inspection took place in 2012, and an ungraded visit in 2021 confirmed the school continues to meet that standard, with leadership and management also rated Good. However, the school’s academic outcomes tell a more complicated story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 29% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is significantly below the Kirklees local authority average of 60%, and it places Wellhouse 93rd out of 94 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, the school sits in the bottom 2.8% of all primaries on this measure. The data suggests that while the school is well-regarded by inspectors, its academic results are a clear area of concern for parents to weigh up.
