186th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 3.2/10 against 1,446 of them, against 2.7/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 62% | 1.59 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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 Greenhill Primary School
Overview
Greenhill Primary School is described as having a "warm and welcoming" ethos where pupils are "safe and happy" and demonstrate respect for one another. The school has "improved rapidly," with staff morale being "generally very high" and governors actively supporting continuous development. Inspectors found that the curriculum is "broad and effective," ensuring that most pupils learn and remember well, particularly in early reading and for those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- The school maintains a "highly effective curriculum for teaching early reading," where pupils quickly learn to sound out words and enjoy sharing books.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "fully included in the life of the school," with staff adapting approaches to ensure they learn and achieve well.
- The personal, social and health education (PSHE) curriculum is "highly effective," helping pupils learn strategies for mental health and preparing them for life beyond school.
- Staff have "high expectations of pupils’ conduct," and the school manages incidents of poor behaviour "highly effectively."
- In the early years, children "get off to a great start" with a well-designed curriculum that prepares them for Year 1.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of wider curriculum subjects, the school has not clearly identified the most important knowledge, meaning pupils’ understanding "sometimes lacks depth."
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough, causing them to "miss important learning" and wider experiences.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
