109th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.5/10 against 2,922 of them, against 5.0/10 nationally. 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.54 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Allerton CofE Primary School
Overview
Allerton Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "special place" where pupils feel safe and loved. Leaders have created an "inspirational place to learn" with an ambitious curriculum that enables all pupils to benefit from a "broad and rich learning experience."
Strengths
- Pupils are "fully engaged in their lessons" and benefit from an "extensive range of clubs" and creative arts partnerships.
- Reading is a high priority, with "great deal of investment in resources" and imaginative initiatives like the 'bedtime box' to develop a love of reading.
- Pupils are "very positive about mathematics," encouraged to explain their reasoning to understand concepts with "great depth."
- Staff morale is high, with staff describing the headteacher as "inspirational" and the school as "exceptionally well led and managed."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "supported well," accessing the full curriculum or a bespoke offer.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the curriculum in foundation subjects like history and art is delivered at an appropriate level so pupils retain prior knowledge and can build upon it.
- Some curriculum elements are currently "too challenging," meaning pupils are "unable to access some of the curriculum content well" due to gaps in previous learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, underpinned by the school’s Christian ethos, with a "strong culture of safeguarding" and thorough procedures for staff appointments and concerns.
