Check the area around this school
184th 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 — 1.9/10 against 850 of them, against 1.6/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Co-op Academy Brownhill
Overview
Co-op Academy Brownhill continues to be a good school, characterised by a welcoming atmosphere where pupil well-being is central. Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum that supports diverse learners, including those with special educational needs and disabilities and those arriving with English as an additional language. The school fosters strong relationships with families and maintains high levels of respect and safety among pupils.
Strengths
- The curriculum for behaviour and personal development is described as "exceptional," with pupils demonstrating a strong understanding of the value to "show you care."
- Staff effectively support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, ensuring they succeed through targeted in-lesson support and language development.
- Leaders ensure pupils develop a "love of books and stories," with effective implementation of the new phonics programme and high-quality literature in the early years.
- Pastoral support is "exceptional," contributing to increased attendance and helping families through community partnerships.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with a "strong culture of safeguarding" and thorough recruitment checks.
Areas to improve
- In the early years, some staff lack the expertise to support children’s learning in all areas, particularly writing, meaning some children are not fully prepared for future learning.
- Leaders’ work on improving attendance has not yet impacted pupils who are frequently absent, causing them to miss out on important learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff forming trusting relationships with pupils and acting promptly to report concerns.
