About Alwoodley Primary School

Alwoodley Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2024, but the detail behind that grade tells a more nuanced story. The school was previously rated Outstanding in 2013, and while the overall effectiveness has stepped down one notch, inspectors judged behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all to be Outstanding. Early years provision also remains Outstanding. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 71% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That is ten percentage points above the Leeds local authority average of 61%, placing Alwoodley 60th out of 204 primary schools in the area — comfortably in the top third. The school also ranks in the top 30% nationally.
