Check the area around this school
162nd 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 — 3.0/10 against 2,106 of them, against 2.8/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| 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 Fieldhead Carr Primary School
Overview
Fieldhead Carr Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a "calm, caring and supportive learning environment" where pupils feel valued and safe. Leaders maintain high expectations for behaviour and personal development, ensuring that "nurturing relationships run throughout the school" and that all pupils, including those with special educational needs, are well supported.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and "well sequenced across subjects," with a strong focus on personal development and keeping pupils safe.
- Pupils behave well, and incidents are resolved effectively, fostering trust between the school, parents, and children.
- Reading is prioritised with a "well-sequenced scheme" for phonics, and struggling readers receive swift, targeted support.
- Staff are "well supported by leaders," creating a positive culture where staff feel proud of their work.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are quickly identified and receive personalised teaching to help them achieve.
Areas to improve
- In some lessons, teachers do not use questioning effectively to check understanding or address misconceptions, leading to gaps in learning.
- In a small number of recently refined subjects, the curriculum is not delivered with sufficient precision, meaning pupils do not always receive the intended learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
