About Hawksworth Wood Primary School

Hawksworth Wood Primary School in Leeds is a mixed state primary for children aged 5 to 11, and its intake data tells an interesting story. The school has capacity for 420 pupils but currently hosts 315, meaning it is running at 75% capacity. This is a school serving a community with significant economic disadvantage: 45.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23%. Despite the spare capacity, the school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, with 61 applications for 41 places and an oversubscription ratio of 1.49. All 33 first-preference applicants were offered places, suggesting strong local demand from families who choose it as their top option. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Eleanore Pickard. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in June 2025, rated it Good overall, with Good marks across all categories including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision.
