About Windmill CofE (VC) Primary School
Windmill CofE (VC) Primary School in Kirklees holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The 2022 ungraded inspection confirmed the school remains Good, with the leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged as Good in the previous graded inspection of 2017. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just above the Kirklees local authority average of 60%, placing the school in the middle of the pack nationally — ranked 6,931 out of 13,686 primary schools. Within Kirklees, it ranks 42nd out of 94 schools, putting it in the bottom half of the authority but still comfortably above the local baseline.
