Check the area around this school
165th 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 — 2.2/10 against 2,690 of them, against 2.5/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.03 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Elements Primary School
Overview
Leaders encourage pupils to be ‘world-changers’ through a bespoke ‘Elements’ curriculum designed to broaden ambitions. The school fosters a calm, respectful environment where pupils value equality and personal well-being, supported by strong trust leadership and effective safeguarding arrangements.
Strengths
- The ‘Elements’ curriculum provides clear guidance in most subjects, leading to “strong learning” in areas such as science.
- Reading is a “strength of the school” following the adoption of a new phonics scheme, with pupils enjoying daily story time and using their knowledge well.
- Mathematics outcomes are improving through daily practice of key number facts in ‘early bird maths’ and prompt support for those who struggle.
- Early years staff adapt the curriculum to meet individual needs, developing children’s communication skills through story and rhyme.
- Pupils demonstrate high levels of respect and confidence, understanding fundamental British values and knowing how to report concerns to the ‘fantastic five’ safeguarding leads.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure important knowledge is clearly identified across all foundation subjects to prevent gaps in pupils’ learning.
- Staff in the early years should receive training to use high-quality interactions during less-structured ‘free-flow’ activities to maximise learning opportunities.
- Leaders need to provide clearer guidance to staff on supporting pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to avoid slowing their curriculum progression.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with secure systems in place for reporting concerns and staff teaching pupils how to keep themselves safe, including online.
