About Christ Church Upper Armley Church of England Primary School

Christ Church Upper Armley Church of England Primary School sits in a part of Leeds where the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 61%. At this school, that figure is 33% — a gap of 28 percentage points that places it firmly below the typical outcome for primary schools in the area. The school’s ranking within Leeds reflects this: it sits 197th out of 204 primary schools, putting it in the bottom 5% of the local authority. The picture is similar regionally and nationally, where it falls in the bottom 5% of all primary schools. That said, the school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage — 42.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average — and context matters enormously when interpreting headline results.
