About Holy Family Catholic Primary School

Holy Family Catholic Primary School in Leeds sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 results, with 70% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Leeds average of 61%. That nine-point gap is a solid indicator of consistent classroom performance, and the school’s ranking of 68th out of 221 primary schools in the city places it in the top third locally. Its national percentile of roughly 32% is respectable for a state primary, though it’s worth noting that the school is oversubscribed by a factor of 3.2, with 96 applications for 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That level of demand suggests local families see real value here. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good — a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2010.
