Check the area around this school
180th 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 — 1.7/10 against 995 of them, against 1.5/10 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 41% | 0.27 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 26% | 0.75 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Grange Farm Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 38.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 3.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2022. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.5 out of 10 against all schools).

What Ofsted said about Grange Farm Primary School
Overview
Grange Farm Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy learning in a "happy, friendly" environment. Leaders have introduced an "ambitious new curriculum" with detailed plans that positively impact pupils’ retention of knowledge and their readiness to learn.
Strengths
- Pupils are "calm and settled in lessons" and keen to do their best, supported by adults who maintain "high expectations".
- The redesigned curriculum ensures pupils have a "secure depth of knowledge" in most subjects, allowing them to build effectively on prior learning.
- Teachers use engaging methods, such as dissections and hands-on activities, to "bring learning alive" and stimulate curiosity.
- Reading is prioritised with daily lessons and a structured phonics programme that helps pupils read fluently and supports those who have fallen behind.
- Behaviour has seen a "significant improvement" following a new policy, with pupils behaving well and feeling safe from bullying.
Areas to improve
- Leaders have not fully implemented the new curriculum in all subjects, meaning some pupils have not completely secured the depth of knowledge needed for future learning; leaders should continue implementation across all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and leaders being "tenacious in making sure pupils receive support when it is needed".
