5th 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 — 9.0/10 against 3,647 of them, against 9.2/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Green Lane Primary Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 20.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in December 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
Pupils participate in Delta Games and Delta Rugby Union Championships, an English Poetry celebration, and trips to Filey, Ian’s Mobile Farm, Yorkshire Wildlife Park, and the Wakefield Museum.

Worth asking on a visit
How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific support is available for children joining in the current entry year? How are the Delta Games integrated into the weekly timetable?
