We are incredibly proud of our school and our community, where we have the privilege to support, nurture and educate approximately 600 wonderful children aged 3-11, from a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds.

 Boothroyd Primary Academy became an academy in October 2013 and is part of Focus-Trust, which is a multi-academy chain of 15 primary academies.  The school is in North Kirklees, half a mile from Dewsbury town centre in an area of significant socio-economic deprivation.  It is a larger than average primary school, the majority of pupils are of Asian or Asian British Pakistani heritage. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is well above the national average as is those who are eligible for support through the additional pupil premium funding.

 Our vision is for Boothroyd to be the heartbeat of the community, where we empower all, so we all shine brightly.  We collectively contribute to a positive culture and learning environment that enables everyone to thrive and be the best version of themselves, by living out our school values of Honesty, Excellence, Aspiration, Respect and Teamwork.

 The school is a fantastic place to work. Every day is different, but every day is rewarding. We are building something special, a place where every child has the chance to fulfill their potential through an enriching curriculum and the support of staff who truly care. Our committed staff and children make Boothroyd a good place to work and learn. The children act as fabulous ambassadors for the school and demonstrate this through the many leadership roles they have within school. The school’s standing in the community, links with local mosque leaders, and a high level of parental satisfaction creates a high level of trust in the school.

 Our school website gives a good flavour of what we offer at Boothroyd and the extensive work we have done on the school curriculum, however the best thing to do is visit the school. You will then get a clear idea of the school's culture and positive energy, see the school in action and meet the staff and our wonderful children.
