Unfortunately couldn’t attend any open evening even at our local comprehensive school as hubby was busy in his research work and I was with my DD 11 plus preparation.We had Grammar School at Leeds in our mind (as didn’t think about state grammar because of the distance).But other friend’s kids were appearing so we tried as well.Unfortunately no one could reached the standard required so they are trying for independent schools now......☹️
You should call the schools and arrange to visit each and chat with the senior management. Also look around the local areas and work out the transport logistics for each school. It sounds like Heckmondwike might not be the best fit for you but look around the schools for comparison.
No-one can tell you which is best for your own personal circumstance.
WRT Primary, search the gov.uk school website with the postcode for each school to see the stats for each nearby primary:
