About Adel Primary School

Adel Primary School, a state primary in Leeds for children aged 3 to 11, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and an ungraded visit in 2022 where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the Leeds local authority average of 61%, placing the school 47th out of 204 primaries in the area and in the top 50 tier locally. Nationally, it ranks in the top 25% of all primary schools. While the school does not have Progress 8 data to show how much value it adds, the raw attainment scores are strong, with a maths average score of 108 and a reading average of 107, both above the national benchmark of 100.
