151st 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 1,528 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 3.3/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Rawdon St Peter's Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Overview
Rawdon St Peter’s is described as a “welcoming and inclusive school” where staff and pupils feel part of a “family.” The inspection confirms the school remains good, highlighting “warm, respectful and supportive” relationships and a “calm and purposeful atmosphere.” Leaders are “highly ambitious” for pupil achievement, ensuring children are well prepared for life in modern Britain through a broad curriculum and strong community links.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “well sequenced,” particularly in history and mathematics, allowing pupils’ knowledge to build effectively on earlier learning.
- Reading is an “extremely high priority,” with consistent teaching of phonics and quick identification of pupils who fall behind.
- Children in the early years get a “particularly good start,” benefiting from a “thoughtfully designed” curriculum and high staff expectations.
- Pupils take on meaningful leadership roles, such as peer mediators and school councillors, which “prepare them well for later life.”
- Governors “understand their roles extremely well” and actively evaluate information from leaders to support school improvement.
Areas to improve
- Individual support plans for pupils with SEND do not outline the “small steps in learning” needed, preventing accurate tracking of progress.
- The curriculum is “not fully embedded in all subjects,” meaning pupils do not consistently develop a secure understanding of essential knowledge.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
