From the Lindley Junior School
In the centre of Lindley in Huddersfield, there is a junior school called Lindley Junior School. Approximately 495 kids in grades three through six are now registered with us. We are a welcoming, compassionate school with high expectations for every student. Through a variety of engaging learning activities, our kids are encouraged to explore, learn, and ask questions. We work hard to establish close ties with parents and the neighbourhood because we think that this will help our students learn more effectively. A rich and engaging curriculum is provided by the staff, providing possibilities for learning inside and outside of the classroom. Visitors, educational tours, and extracurricular activities enhance our engaging curriculum. Our students are content, polite, and well-behaved, and they get along well with the teachers. The thorough manner in which the school looks after its students contribute to the good personal development of the students. Students enjoy going to school. They rave about how much fun school is. As the school fosters a "I can" mentality, they accept responsibilities voluntarily. (OFSTED). "We are extremely fortunate that our daughter can attend this school since she adores it. All of your employees are considerate, intelligent, and nurturing, and the school makes unmatched investments in the general curriculum, particularly in music education for junior high students." May 2019 parental survey.
