About Green Lane Primary Academy

Green Lane Primary Academy stands out sharply against the Leeds local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 61%, Green Lane achieves 82% — a full 21 percentage points higher. This places the school 16th out of 204 primary schools in Leeds, comfortably inside the top 10% nationally. The school’s performance is consistent across individual subjects too: 92% of pupils meet the expected standard in reading, 90% in maths, and 85% in writing. At the higher standard, 35% reach that level in reading and 32% in maths, though writing at the higher level is lower at 10%. These figures suggest a school that is not just coasting but pushing a significant proportion of its pupils beyond the basics, particularly in reading and maths.
