About Elements Primary School

Elements Primary School in Leeds is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 130 applications for just 48 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.71. That means nearly three families applied for every spot, and 46 of those offers went to first-preference applicants. While the school doesn't publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, this level of demand is a strong signal that families rate the experience highly. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, ages 4 to 11, and has no religious character. Headteacher Carrie Green leads a school that is close to capacity, with 400 pupils on roll against a maximum of 420. It's worth noting that 29% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and suggests a genuinely inclusive intake.

Academically, Elements Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, following its most recent graded inspection in January 2023. Inspectors rated every category as Good, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The early years provision also received a Good grade. The school does not have a sixth form, so its academic focus is on the primary years. While the data doesn't include specific Key Stage 2 SATs results for the school, the local authority average for primary schools in Leeds is 61% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Elements sits within a competitive local landscape: there are 26 Outstanding primary schools in Leeds out of 221 total, and the nearest Outstanding alternative is Morley Newlands Academy, 2.9 km away. For parents weighing up options, Elements' consistent Good rating across all Ofsted categories provides a solid baseline.

The school offers a practical range of facilities, including a library, sports hall, playing fields, art studios, music rooms, and an outdoor playground. Sports provision covers swimming, gymnastics, tennis, and dance, while extracurricular clubs include Eco Club, choir, and coding. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, visual impairment, and autistic spectrum disorder. This breadth suggests the school is equipped to support a range of learners. Given its oversubscription, families should be prepared to apply early and list it as a first preference to maximise their chances. Elements suits families who value a well-regarded, inclusive local primary with strong Ofsted grades and a wide set of facilities and clubs, all within the Leeds authority.
