Check the area around this school
114th 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 — 5.9/10 against 1,986 of them, against 4.9/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Raynville Academy
Overview
Raynville Academy continues to be a good school, where adults maintain high expectations and pupils respond well by being ‘ready, respectful and responsible’. The curriculum is ambitious and well-designed, with effective support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, though attendance for disadvantaged pupils remains a concern.
Strengths
- Pupils act maturely, show respect for one another, and bullying is rare, with adults resolving incidents promptly.
- The curriculum is ambitious with clear progression, and teachers use consistent strategies to check understanding before introducing new concepts.
- Reading is a priority, with staff receiving ongoing training and effective support provided for those needing extra help.
- The personal, social and health education curriculum is well designed, helping pupils understand safety, health, and different faiths.
- Leaders work effectively with external agencies to secure support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.
Areas to improve
- The proportion of disadvantaged pupils who are persistently absent is too high; systems must identify and address barriers to attendance.
- Oversight of some educational improvements is not as strong as it could be, causing some progress to slow.
- In a minority of lessons, activities are not well matched to curriculum aims, hindering the development of detailed subject knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
