Gledhow Primary School
Leeds, LS8 1PL · Leeds · primary school
74th of 212 primary schools in Leeds we can score, 222 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 4,151 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.3/10 among them, against 6.4/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.3 out of 10 among them, against 6.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. The school offers football and swimming, alongside a breakfast club and the Gledowls Before & After School Club.
Getting in. The school has 663 pupils in a building with 652 places, meaning it is over capacity by 11. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 11-pupil overage in daily operations? What specific support is available for the 10.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard? How does the before and after-school club integrate with the main curriculum?
