Carlton Primary School
About Carlton Primary School
Carlton Primary School sits within the Leeds local authority, a large and varied primary landscape with 221 schools of its type. The school ranks 51st out of 204 primaries in Leeds on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top quarter of the authority. For context, the very top performers in the area include Harewood Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, Shadwell Primary School, and Horsforth Featherbank Primary School, all of which score higher on the same metric. Carlton’s ranking is a solid one, and it sits comfortably above the Leeds average for key stage 2 outcomes. The school is led by headteacher Millie Brook and has a capacity of 367 pupils, with 320 currently on roll. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it offers nursery provision. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in January 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained, following a full graded inspection in February 2020 that awarded a Good rating across all areas.
