Check the area around this school
17th 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 — 9.5/10 against 1,163 of them, against 9.7/10 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 | 88.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 33.0 · 99 | 25% | 2.47 |
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 Tranmere Park Primary School
Overview
Tranmere Park Primary is described as a “warm and inclusive school” where pupils are “kind to one another” and display “exceptional” behaviour. The report highlights a “broad and ambitious curriculum” that supports strong academic achievement, particularly in reading, alongside a “strong sense of community” involving parents and staff.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit “Outstanding” behaviour and attitudes, consistently meeting high expectations and demonstrating the school’s values.
- Leaders have prioritised reading, resulting in “consistently strong” outcomes and a new phonics approach having a “positive impact”.

Areas to improve
