St Paul's Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
Leeds, LS17 5ES · Leeds · primary school
15th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.3/10 against 4,320 of them, against 8.3/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 91 | 35% | 3.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
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, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 23.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.3 out of 10 either way).
Getting in. The school has 206 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving only 4 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 4 places remaining, how does the school manage waitlists for new admissions? Since the last inspection was in March 2026, what specific improvements have been made since then? How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in core subjects?
