About Helme Church of England Academy

Helme Church of England Academy is a primary school in Holmfirth, Kirklees, classified by the DfE as an academy sponsor led with a Church of England religious character. Around 132 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 14.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
