185th 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 the 3,249 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 among 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 62% | 1.00 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 38% | 1.72 |
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 Moor Allerton Hall Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school where they feel happy and supported by staff. However, standards have dropped since the previous inspection, with the quality of education, leadership, and early years provision all requiring improvement. Leaders are taking action to address these weaknesses, but these measures need more time to embed and show consistent impact across the curriculum.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate good behaviour, following school rules and ‘CARE’ values, with high attendance encouraged by incentives.
- Personal development is strong, with pupils gaining a secure understanding of life in modern Britain and equality through diverse assembly visitors.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, and there is highly effective support for pupils’ mental health and online safety.
- Early reading is a high priority; phonics is taught consistently in Reception, and staff provide regular checks and additional support.
- Pupils benefit from engaging wider opportunities, including clubs in robotics and British Sign Language, and educational visits.
Areas to improve
- Staff must identify and address gaps in pupils’ knowledge to ensure secure learning progression, particularly in writing where results are significantly below average.
- Teachers need to plan activities that consistently support the learning of important subject knowledge across the curriculum, including in Reception.
- Staff must apply the school’s teaching policies consistently to ensure all pupils have equal access to high-quality education.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
