Swillington Primary School
Leeds, LS26 8DX · Leeds · primary school
164th 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 — 3.1/10 against 2,183 of them, against 2.8/10 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 | 55.0 · 28 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. 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 (3.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access clubs including boxercise, kickboxing, archery, boccia, and fencing, alongside sports such as swimming galas, cross-country, cricket, tag rugby, football, rounders, netball, and athletics. They also participate in dance in a day and visit a bouldering climbing centre. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 206 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 4 spare places. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific strategies are used to raise the percentage of pupils reaching the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 4 spare places?
