Check the area around this school
36th 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 — 9.5/10 against 2,806 of them, against 8.9/10 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 | 86.0 · 95 | 40% | 3.78 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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 Low Road Primary School
Overview
Low Road Primary School is judged as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories. Pupils are described as ‘happy and safe’, benefiting from a ‘broad and engaging’ curriculum that places music at the heart of school life. Leaders maintain ‘high aspirations for every pupil’, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘ambitious for all pupils’, with effective adaptations ensuring most pupils with SEND ‘achieve well’.
- Teachers ‘repeat and revisit learning’ to aid retention, and provide effective daily phonics sessions with targeted support for those falling behind.
- Pupils are ‘polite and respectful’, with no recorded incidents of bullying or racist or homophobic name-calling.
- Staff create ‘beautiful environments where pupils can thrive’, offering extensive enrichment activities and after-school clubs.
- Leaders and governors are ‘mindful of their workload and well-being’, fostering a supportive professional culture.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ‘check what pupils can remember and adjust the curriculum to address gaps in pupils’ knowledge’, as some struggle to retain content in PSHE and number facts.
- Leaders should ‘provide appropriate training in effective communication and modelling of language for staff’ in the early years, as opportunities to extend children’s ideas are sometimes missed.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
