Check the area around this school
29th of 45 secondary schools in Leeds we can score. 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 — 6.1/10 against 871 of them, against 5.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 40.9 · 40 | 30% | 1.19 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.27 · 70 | 25% | 1.76 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 44.0 · 39 | 10% | 0.39 |
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 Temple Moor High School
Overview
Temple Moor High School continues to be a good school, where pupils feel safe and happy to attend. Leaders maintain high expectations for behaviour and have developed an ambitious curriculum that supports strong achievement, particularly for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from "strong" relationships with staff and a consistent behaviour system that ensures they "behave well".
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and carefully planned, with teachers using assessment effectively to check learning in most subjects.
- Pupils with SEND are "supported well" through clear guidance for teachers and partnerships with other schools for complex needs.
- A developing "culture of reading" and identified vocabulary help pupils, including sixth-form students, engage with technical language.
- Staff feel "valued and supported," with leaders carefully considering workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, curriculum planning is not fully developed; leaders must specify the "most important knowledge" pupils need to know and remember across all areas.
- The personal development curriculum must address gaps in pupils’ knowledge of world religions and protected characteristics to ensure all are prepared for life in modern Britain.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders providing high-quality training and clear systems for reporting concerns.
