About Adel St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School

Adel St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Leeds, and its headline academic metrics put it well ahead of the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 83% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Leeds average of 61%. That gap of 22 percentage points is significant and places the school 13th out of 204 primary schools in the authority, comfortably inside the top 10% nationally. The school is also heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 117 applications for 30 places, a ratio of 3.9 to one, with all 24 first-preference applicants receiving an offer. That level of demand suggests local families see it as a strong choice, and the numbers back that up.
