About Wilberlee Junior and Infant School

Wilberlee Junior and Infant School is a small state primary in Kirklees, with just 81 pupils on roll against a capacity of 84, meaning it runs very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.6%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many. Demand for places is notably high: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 37 applications for just 11 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.36 to one. Only eight first-preference offers were made, and all eight first-preference applicants were successful, indicating that while the school is popular, families who put it first have a decent chance of getting in. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and serves the 4–11 age range, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
