About Cookridge Primary School

Cookridge Primary School is a popular choice among Leeds families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 186 applications for just 43 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4.33. Of those, 57 families put it as their first preference, and 42 of them were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2023, confirmed it remains Good, building on a graded inspection from October 2013 that also rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. This marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2011, when it was rated Requires Improvement.
