Check the area around this school
56th 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 4,112 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.9/10 among them, against 7.5/10 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 40% | 3.62 |
| 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 Cookridge Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School
Overview
Leaders are ambitious for every pupil to fulfil the school’s motto of ‘The best for every child’. Pupils respond well to high expectations, enjoying a ‘caring school’ where they are ‘happy and safe’. The report highlights a positive culture where pupils act with kindness and resolve conflicts themselves.
Strengths
- Pupils are ‘inclusive, and respectful of the views of others’, benefiting from leadership roles that prepare them to become ‘active citizens’.
- The mathematics curriculum is ‘well sequenced and planned’, with teachers addressing knowledge gaps and demonstrating ‘strong subject knowledge’.
- Reading is a ‘high priority’, with a phonics programme taught ‘consistently by expert teachers’ and books ‘closely matched to their ability’.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) ‘access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers’ with effective support systems.
- There is a ‘strong curriculum for personal, social and health education’, where pupils discuss issues such as racism and mental health with maturity.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum in some subjects is ‘not embedded as well as it is in others’, meaning pupils do not always learn as well as they could.
- Teachers do not use assessment ‘consistently well to check what pupils know’, so gaps are not always identified, particularly in foundation subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a ‘strong culture of safeguarding’ established, thorough records, and rigorous checks on all adults working with pupils.
