About Farsley Farfield Primary School

Farsley Farfield Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit comfortably above the Leeds local authority average, with 64% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 61%. That three-percentage-point gap might sound modest, but it places the school in the top half of all primary schools in Leeds — ranked 96th out of 204 — and in the top 50% nationally. Digging deeper, the school’s strongest subject is maths, where 81% of pupils hit the expected level and 38% achieved the higher standard, both well above typical figures. Reading and writing expected rates are 76% and 79% respectively, again solid. The higher-standard scores are more mixed: 41% in reading, 22% in writing, and 22% across all three subjects. So while Farsfield isn’t an outlier at the very top of the league tables, it’s a reliable, above-average performer that consistently delivers better outcomes than most other primaries in Leeds.
