About Alderman Richard Hallam Primary School

Alderman Richard Hallam Primary School in Leicester holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and confirmed in an ungraded visit in 2022. The school’s journey from a Requires Improvement rating in 2010 to Good reflects a clear upward trajectory in leadership and management, both of which were rated Good in the 2012 inspection. On the most informative exam metric available, the school’s Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment sits at 61%, which is just one percentage point below the Leicester local authority average of 62%. This places the school 40th out of 68 primary schools in the authority, in the bottom half nationally. While the school does not rank among the top performers in the city, its results are broadly in line with local norms, and the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in reading and maths is 31% and 30% respectively, though writing at the higher level drops to 7%.
