20th 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 — 9.4/10 against 1,615 of them, against 9.6/10 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 | 90.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.90 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
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 West End Primary School
Overview
West End Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a "happy and inclusive community" where pupils are "polite and eager to talk about the things they learn." Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, ensuring they leave "well prepared for the next stage of education" through a carefully sequenced curriculum that is fully inclusive of those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- The curriculum is well-designed, with subject leaders who are "knowledgeable" and regularly review their areas to identify improvements.
- Reading is a clear priority, supported by effective phonics teaching, daily practice, and a central library that helps pupils "develop a love of reading."
- Pupils behave well, are "respectful and kind to one another," and bullying is rare, with staff providing strong support when needed.
- Staff workload and well-being are "well managed by leaders and governors," contributing to a positive working environment.
- The personal development curriculum ensures pupils become "well-rounded, knowledgeable citizens" with an understanding of British values.
Areas to improve
- Teachers must ensure new information is "consistently and precisely explained" so pupils can connect it to prior knowledge, as current explanations sometimes lack precision.
- Teachers need to consistently address the quality of work presentation, including correct letter formation, as standards are not currently applied uniformly across all classes.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
