About Fieldhead Carr Primary School

Fieldhead Carr Primary School sits within the Leeds local authority, a large and varied area for primary education. Among the 204 state primary schools in Leeds, the school ranks 125th, placing it in the bottom half of the authority. For context, the top-performing peers in the area include Harewood Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, Shadwell Primary School, and Horsforth Featherbank Primary School, all of which achieve significantly higher ranking scores. Fieldhead Carr is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It has a capacity of 420 pupils and currently enrols 402, with 29 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals — a figure that suggests a higher-than-average level of disadvantage compared with many other Leeds primaries. The school is led by headteacher Joanna Murphy and was most recently inspected by Ofsted in February 2024, when it was judged to remain Good following an ungraded inspection.
