Check the area around this school
81st 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 2,448 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among them, against 6.3/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Bramham Primary School
Overview
Bramham Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are happy, polite, and demonstrate core values such as confidence and resilience. Leaders maintain high ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, fostering a safe environment with strong relationships.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit positive attitudes to learning, with reading being a high priority supported by a "carefully constructed phonics programme" and well-trained staff.
- The mathematics curriculum is effectively sequenced, ensuring pupils, including those with SEND, build knowledge over time and achieve well.
- Behaviour is excellent throughout the school, with pupils playing well together and insisting there is "no bullying."
- Staff workload is "carefully considered and is manageable," with leaders described as caring and considerate.
- Pupils thrive in leadership roles, such as school councillors and reading ambassadors, and show respect for equality and diversity.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, such as French and religious education, important knowledge and vocabulary are not revisited often enough, hindering long-term retention.
- The school should widen extra-curricular opportunities beyond sport to help pupils develop talents and interests in other areas.
- Leaders and governors need to improve communication with parents.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
