Check the area around this school
190th 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 — 2.7/10 against 1,756 of them, against 2.5/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 62% | 1.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 38% | 1.36 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Summerfield Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 4.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in
The published school roll is 193 pupils against a stated capacity of 210. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
How does the school support pupils who are working towards the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school monitor progress for pupils in the top 4.0% who are aiming for higher standards?
What Ofsted said about Summerfield Primary School
Overview
Summerfield Primary School is described as a "warm and welcoming community" where pupils feel safe and are "surrounded by care." The inspection reports that the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision are all rated as Good.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "carefully designed to develop pupils’ knowledge over time," with a strong priority on reading where pupils are "proud to read to adults."
- Behaviour is excellent; pupils are "polite and respectful," follow "well-established routines," and show "resilience in their learning."
- Staff provide "clear actions" to improve mathematics teaching, ensuring misconceptions are "quickly addressed" and pupils recall key knowledge well.
- The needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "quickly identified," with adaptations allowing them to access an "ambitious curriculum."
- Attendance has seen "significant improvement" due to robust monitoring strategies, and governors have "effective oversight" of the school.
Areas to improve
- Pupils are not given "sufficient opportunities to practise and secure accurate letter formation," often writing longer pieces before mastering correct formation.
- Teaching is "less effective in enabling some pupils to apply their phonic knowledge in writing."
- At key stage 2, curriculum changes in writing and mathematics need "more time to embed," resulting in some pupils having "gaps in their learning."
Safeguarding
