Hugh Gaitskell Primary School
Leeds, LS11 8AB · Leeds · primary school
205th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.7/10 against 2,170 of them, against 1.8/10 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 | 43.0 · 11 | 40% | 0.43 |
| Ofsted | 5 | 35% | 0.18 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 43.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. 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, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Choir, Storytelling, Science club, Board Games, Spanish Club, Programming skills, Book Club, Sewing Club, Tag Rugby, Skipping Skills, Football Club, Cricket Club, Art Club, KS2 Art Club, Drawing club, and Dance Club. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 555 pupils in a capacity of 630 places, leaving 75 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children arriving without prior breakfast club experience?
