Schools in Hebden Bridge
Hebden Bridge is a small town in the upper Calder Valley, West Yorkshire, with 10 schools — all primaries. There is no secondary school within the Hebden Bridge catchment boundary; secondary-age pupils typically travel to Calder High School in nearby Mytholmroyd or Todmorden High School. Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council coordinates admissions across the valley.
Six of the 10 primary schools operate as academies, and one carries a faith designation. Two schools are currently at or above capacity. The Calder Valley's geography means catchment boundaries follow the valley floor and moorland edges rather than simple radial distances; families in hamlets such as Colden, Heptonstall and Slack should check whether their address falls within a given school's published catchment map before applying.
