About Cockburn Haigh Road Academy

Cockburn Haigh Road Academy is a small primary school in Leeds that serves children from age 3 to 7, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good across every category — a significant turnaround from its previous Inadequate rating in 2018. The school's headline metrics are harder to compare against the Leeds local authority average for Key Stage 2 because the school only covers Key Stage 1 (Reception to Year 2), meaning it does not produce the standard KS2 SATs results that the LA average of 61 per cent is based on. That said, the school's improvement story is striking: in 2018, leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all graded 4 (Inadequate), whereas by 2023 every graded area — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership — had risen to a 2 (Good). For a school with just 78 pupils and a high proportion of children eligible for free school meals (30. 3 per cent), this represents a notable shift in quality.
