About Scissett Middle School
Scissett Middle School is a primary school in Huddersfield, Kirklees, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 587 pupils aged 10 to 13 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 59% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 6.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 5.3%. There are about 18.9 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
