Check the area around this school
175th 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 — 1.9/10 against 1,571 of them, against 1.9/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| 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 Rosebank Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending the school and feel safe, with a strong sense of community reflected in the motto ‘all friends and together we succeed’. Leaders have constructed a rewarding curriculum that fosters positive attitudes, with incidents of bullying being rare and staff maintaining high expectations for behaviour. The report highlights a clear focus on reading and personal development, ensuring children make a good start and become confident, respectful individuals.
Strengths
- Leaders prioritise reading, with phonics taught from Reception and books closely matched to pupils’ abilities, fostering a ‘love of reading’.
- Pupils develop leadership skills through roles such as ‘diversity champion’ and engage enthusiastically in extra-curricular activities like the Shakespeare school festival.
- Effective systems identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with specialist support provided in the school’s ‘hub’.
- Staff feel supported by leaders, who carefully consider workload and well-being, resulting in positive staff morale.
- The curriculum supports personal development, helping pupils become knowledgeable ‘good citizens’ and ‘world citizens’.
Areas to improve
- In mathematics, assessment information is not used precisely enough to close learning gaps for pupils working below their peers’ level.
- Adaptations for lower prior attaining pupils and some pupils with SEND are not always consistent, preventing full access to the curriculum in some subjects.
- Leaders do not carry out thorough checks on how well the curriculum is taught in some subjects, leading to inconsistencies in pedagogy.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and leaders being ‘tenacious’ in acting on concerns to ensure children receive necessary support.
