Check the area around this school
44th 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 — 8.2/10 against 4,060 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 22.0 · 94 | 25% | 2.35 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Brodetsky Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 22.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join Flex Dance, Cheer Dance, Scouting, and Guiding, and participate in swimming. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in
The published school roll is 214 pupils against a stated capacity of 210. 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
Since the inspection was in early 2024, what specific improvements have been made to the curriculum since then? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main school day for families needing wraparound support?
What Ofsted said about Brodetsky Primary School
Overview
Brodetsky Primary School continues to be a good school, described by the community as ‘like one big family’ where pupils are ‘looked after by kind adults’. The report highlights a strong ethos and effective support for early years and reading, though it notes inconsistencies in curriculum delivery and behaviour management across all subjects and year groups.
Strengths
- Pupils ‘happily attend this inclusive school’ and benefit from a ‘word-rich environment’ that supports rapid progress in reading.
- Teachers ‘skilfully make links between different topics and different subjects’, bringing learning to life in many areas.
- Pupils with high needs are ‘well supported by kind teaching staff’ who appropriately adapt the curriculum.
- The school provides diverse opportunities, such as residential trips and charity fundraising, allowing pupils to ‘develop their talents and interests’.
- Staff feel supported by leaders who ‘listen to them and consider their workload and well-being’.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure ‘robust oversight’ of school improvement priorities to accurately evaluate their impact on pupil outcomes.
- The school should ensure pupils ‘regularly revisit the important knowledge’ in all subjects to prevent gaps in understanding.
- Actions to improve behaviour must be checked regularly to ensure pupils ‘consistently make better choices’ and reduce disruption.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, although the report notes that on a few occasions, important documents ‘do not record in sufficient detail the actions that the school has taken to keep children safe’.
