About Headlands Primary School

Headlands Primary School in York holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2013, with a subsequent ungraded visit in 2022 confirming the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 66%. That is a solid four percentage points above the York local authority average of 62%, placing the school in the top half of primary schools in the area. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, pupils achieved average scaled scores of 106 in reading and 105 in maths, both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. The school ranks 20th out of 47 primaries in York on this combined measure, and 5,748th nationally out of 13,686 schools, putting it in the top 42% of all primary schools in England.
