169th 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 — 2.5/10 against 1,487 of them, against 2.3/10 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 | 44.0 · 12 | 40% | 0.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Hunslet Moor Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 44.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 5.0%, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. 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 (2.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.3 out of 10 against all schools).

What Ofsted said about Hunslet Moor Primary School
Overview
Hunslet Moor Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a "caring and nurturing environment" where pupils feel safe and proud. While the school has made strong progress in English and mathematics, the quality of education is not yet fully realised across the wider curriculum, particularly in foundation subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from effective early reading provision, with trained adults delivering daily phonics lessons that help children become "confident and fluent readers."
- Staff provide "effective support" for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), including highly personalised curricula for those with complex needs.
- Behaviour is well-managed through high expectations and positive reward systems, resulting in rare bullying and pupils who are "highly motivated."
- Leaders have prioritised memory and recall in core subjects, using quizzes and targeted assessments to ensure pupils retain knowledge.
- The school fosters strong personal development, teaching pupils about healthy lifestyles, online safety, and celebrating diversity.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum in some foundation subjects lacks depth and precise sequencing, meaning pupils do not build upon prior learning or deepen their understanding over time.
- Leaders must ensure foundation subjects identify precise knowledge and concepts, enabling pupils to make links between learning and apply what they know to draw conclusions.
- Despite extensive strategies, attendance remains a concern for some pupils, who are not in school often enough.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
