Check the area around this school
10th 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 — 8.8/10 against 3,547 of them, against 9.0/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 62% | 5.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 28.0 · 97 | 38% | 3.74 |
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 Bramhope Primary School
Overview
Bramhope Primary School is described as a “happy and successful school” where staff and pupils are “justifiably proud of the nurturing and inclusive atmosphere.” The report highlights that “academic rigour, alongside exceptional pastoral care, means that all pupils are supported to thrive.” Leaders have ensured the school continues to provide an “excellent education” despite recent growth and changes.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “highly ambitious” and “carefully tailored to meet the increasingly diverse needs” of pupils, with strong foundations established in the early years.
- Reading is taught “very effectively,” with “high-quality teaching of phonics” ensuring pupils learn to read “quickly and confidently.”
- Pupils’ behaviour is “exemplary,” with bullying “not tolerated” and a culture where pupils feel confident adults will act on reports of unkind behaviour.
- “Exceptionally strong leadership” has resulted in high staff morale and effective professional development, particularly for supporting disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs.
- An “extremely well-planned programme of curriculum enrichment” helps pupils develop talents, life skills, and an understanding of fundamental British values.
Areas to improve
- The report notes that last year’s published outcomes for writing were lower than other subjects, but states that leaders have taken “effective action to improve the quality of the English curriculum,” resulting in outcomes that are now “exceptionally strong.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
