51st 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 the 3,159 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0/10 among them, against 7.9/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Austhorpe Primary School
Overview
Austhorpe Primary School is described as a "vibrant and welcoming" institution where pupils are encouraged to ‘SHINE’ within a "nurturing and inclusive environment." The inspection confirms that the school continues to be good, with leaders having successfully redesigned the curriculum to ensure pupils build essential knowledge over time.
Strengths
- Pupils behave very well and feel safe, with effective pastoral support available for those with worries.
- Reading is "cherished" and central to the curriculum, with staff ensuring pupils become "confident, fluent readers" through high-quality phonics teaching.
- The curriculum is well-structured, allowing pupils to "make connections in their learning" across subjects like history and science.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well, with needs identified early and teaching tailored to help them access the curriculum.
- Staff feel "supported and valued," and parents largely appreciate the opportunities for their children to develop as "well-rounded individuals."
Areas to improve
- Some subject leaders are new to their roles and have "yet to develop the necessary skills to provide sufficient challenge and support to teachers."
- Senior leaders must ensure these new subject leaders develop the skills to lead their areas effectively and monitor implementation as intended.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with "robust practices in place" and a strong culture maintained through regular checks by governors and trustees.
