Check the area around this school
120th 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 — 4.6/10 against 3,450 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

Getting in

What Ofsted said about Templenewsam Halton Primary School
Overview
Templenewsam Halton Primary School continues to be a good school. The inspection confirms that leaders have successfully redesigned the curriculum and managed changes since the last inspection, creating a community where pupils are “safe, motivated and respectful.” Staff maintain high expectations, and pupils take pride in their behaviour and achievements.
Strengths
- Pupils feel safe, with bullying described as rare and dealt with immediately by staff.
- Leaders prioritise reading, introducing an effective phonics approach that helps pupils catch up quickly and enjoy a wide variety of texts.
- The curriculum is enriched by the ‘Temple 30’ activities and clubs, such as the popular ‘SHOUT’ programme with the fire service.
- Staff plan visits and first-hand experiences, such as history trips, which help pupils make connections between different times and events.
- Staff feel valued and supported, reporting that their workload is manageable and appreciating help from subject leaders.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, support plans for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are not sufficiently detailed, hindering their learning. Leaders must ensure these plans are detailed enough to adapt lessons effectively so pupils with SEND can achieve equally highly across all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust procedures, thorough staff checks, and useful initiatives like ‘Focus Fridays’ helping pupils discuss safety scenarios.
