About Allerton Bywater Primary School

Allerton Bywater Primary School has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school’s leadership, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision all now sit at Good. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — 68% did so in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That comfortably beats the Leeds local authority average of 61%, placing the school 75th out of 204 primary schools in the area, which puts it in the top 40% locally. It also ranks in the top 35% nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 68 reflects solid, above-average performance, though it sits some way behind the top performers in the authority, such as Harewood and Shadwell primary schools.
