Check the area around this school
207th 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 — 1.3/10 against 775 of them, against 1.1/10 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 | 31.0 · 3 | 40% | 0.13 |
| Ofsted | 6 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Wykebeck Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 31.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 2.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. 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 (1.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted inspected the school in March 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join the School Council, Prefects, and Playleaders groups, participate in the wake up shake up sports programme, and attend the breakfast club.
Getting in
The published school roll is 388 pupils against a stated capacity of 420. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Wykebeck Primary School
Overview
Wykebeck Primary School demonstrates a strong culture of care, with safeguarding standards met and an "open culture" where concerns are actively managed. While leaders are praised for their strategic vision and support for staff, the report identifies that "too many pupils do not achieve well enough," with national test results below average. The school is currently working to address inconsistencies in teaching and low attendance.
Strengths
- Safeguarding is effective, with leaders fostering an "open culture" where "pupils are made safer and feel safe."
- Inclusion is strong; leaders use funding wisely to support disadvantaged pupils and provide swift identification for those with special educational needs.
- Staff feel "empowered and supported," valuing the clear vision and manageable workloads provided by leaders.
- Personal development is highly regarded, with a high-quality PSHE curriculum that prepares pupils for life beyond school.
- Governors play an active role, holding leaders to account and ensuring funding supports pupils in need.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure teaching is implemented consistently well across all subjects to help pupils systematically build knowledge and skills.
- Recent improvements in early years provision need to be fully embedded so more children are ready for Year 1.
- Leaders should continue efforts to secure improvements in attendance so more pupils benefit from the education offer.
Safeguarding
The report states that "safeguarding standards are met," noting that leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified and managed.
