Check the area around this school
132nd 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 — 4.0/10 against 3,027 of them, against 4.0/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Getting in
The published school roll is 421 pupils against a stated capacity of 420. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
How does the school manage class sizes when the roll exceeds capacity by 1? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? How is the after-school club structured for children needing wraparound care?
What Ofsted said about Broadgate Primary School
Overview
Broadgate Primary School continues to be a good school, providing an inclusive environment where pupils are happy and safe. Leaders maintain high expectations, resulting in strong pupil achievement and positive behaviour, with staff feeling well supported and valued.
Strengths
- The school is inclusive, with pupils’ needs put first and strong engagement in lessons.
- The mathematics curriculum is well considered, allowing pupils to build knowledge step by step and develop a detailed understanding.
- Early years provision is a strength, particularly in early mathematics, where adults skilfully guide children’s thinking.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well, receiving timely support to follow the same curriculum as their peers.
- Governance is effective, with governors providing precise challenge and support that positively impacts the school.
Areas to improve
- In some phonics sessions, staff do not consistently use the most effective strategies, meaning some pupils do not learn to read as well as they could.
- In a small number of subjects, such as history, the precise knowledge pupils should learn in each year group has not been explicitly determined, hindering progressive knowledge building.
- Some subject leaders do not check how the curriculum is implemented, preventing them from identifying when refinements are needed.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
