About Gleadless Primary School

Gleadless Primary School received a Requires Improvement rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a downgrade from the Good rating it held in its previous inspection in 2016. The school’s overall effectiveness score of 3 reflects challenges in the quality of education, which was also graded as Requires Improvement. However, other areas of the inspection were more positive: behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all earned a Good rating, while early years provision was also judged to be Good. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage, with 29.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, compared with the national average. This context is important when considering the school’s academic outcomes, as it works with a pupil population that often faces additional barriers to learning.
