19th of 211 primary schools in Leeds we can score, 221 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.1/10 against 4,206 of them, against 8.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 73.0 · 73 | 62% | 4.51 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 27.0 · 97 | 38% | 3.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Strengths
- The curriculum has “clear ambition for all,” with “careful thought” given to sequencing in reading, writing, and mathematics, ensuring pupils “achieve very well.”

Areas to improve
- In “a few foundation subjects,” the curriculum and summative assessments are not fully developed, meaning it is “sometimes not clear how much progress pupils have made.”
