Lady Royd Junior School provides a balanced education for girls from 3-11 years of age. Admission is by interview and test according to age. In the last two years there are three parallel forms for which girls must qualify in a 9+ examination. Entry to the Senior School is then automatic provided progress has been maintained.
In 1984 the school celebrated its centenary and whilst progressive in outlook, methods and activities, special care is taken to ensure that the children gain a sound understanding of the basic requirements in English, Mathematics and Science.
The children are encouraged to develop their skills and knowledge in all subject areas and the older girls take part in Field Trips to London and the Coast as an extension to their studies. All the following subjects are incorporated into the school week:-
Art, Design Technology, Drama, English, Food Technology, French, Geography, History, Information Technology, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, Religious Education, Science and Swimming.
Facilities for Physical Education include a gymnasium, netball courts, outdoor play areas and at the Senior School, a heated indoor swimming pool and Sports Hall. The older girls are taught by specialist subject teachers and attend the Senior School for some of their lessons.
Special attention is given to the girls' all round development in a disciplined environment where individual responsibility and concern for others are qualities which are highly valued.
The School is situated quite near to the M62 and other routes. School buses cover a wide area including Halifax, Huddersfield, Ilkley and Leeds.
