Southroyd Primary and Nursery School
Pudsey, LS28 8AT · Leeds · primary school
61st of 212 primary schools in Leeds we can score, 222 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 — 7.5/10 against 3,780 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Eco Club, Rhinos and Rugby, the Santa Dash, Skipping School, and the Daily Mile. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 459 pupils in a capacity of 492, leaving 33 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 33 places remaining, how quickly do new places fill up during the year? Since there is no wraparound care, what options exist for parents who need support before or after school hours? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects?
