Hawksworth Church of England Primary School
About Hawksworth Church of England Primary School
Hawksworth Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in Leeds that parents clearly want to get into. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 80 applications for just 6 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 13.33. Every one of those 6 places went to a first-preference applicant, which suggests strong local demand. The school has a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Dale Norris. It currently has 96 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, so there is a little breathing room, but not much. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2024, confirmed that it remains Good overall. That rating has been consistent since at least the 2014 graded inspection, when it was also judged Good across leadership, early years provision and overall effectiveness.
