Lindley Junior School is an oversubscribed junior school, which converted to academy status in October 2011, for children in the age range 7-11 years. The school is close to the centre of Lindley - an attractive and thriving village only three miles from the centre of Huddersfield.
We work closely with Lindley Church of England Infant School from which most of our intake transfer. The Lindley schools are two of the five schools in the Salendine Nook pyramid of schools. Relationships within the pyramid are supportive. Most pupils transfer to Salendine Nook High School Academy, others to the grammar schools in Halifax and Heckmondwike or to independent schools in Bradford, Wakefield, Leeds and Huddersfield.
The admission area of the school has a fairly diverse socio-economic mix including nearby residential estates, private and local authority housing and short term rental properties. A broad range of social and economic backgrounds is reflected in the current school roll of 496 pupils with 64 (12.9%) pupils entitled to FSM and 66 (13%) pupils entitled to the Pupil Premium. There are 42% of pupils from ethnic minority heritage backgrounds. There are currently 25 (5%) pupils with an Educational, Health and Care Plan.
We have strong and effective relationships with parents/carers, supported by regular consultation. The committed and hard working Parents, Teachers & Friends Association makes a valuable and worthwhile contribution to the life of the school.
Lindley Junior School has a strong commitment to the clear vision set out in its ethos and values statement, which is evident in the pupils’ achievements and sheer enjoyment of teaching and learning shown by staff and pupils alike.
