About Old Town Primary School

Old Town Primary School is a primary school in Hebden Bridge, Calderdale, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. Around 85 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 53% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 24.0 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 in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). When you visit, you might ask how the school stretches its higher-attaining pupils and supports those who need to catch up.
