About Horsforth Featherbank Primary School

Horsforth Featherbank Primary School has been judged Outstanding in every category of its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in March 2024. The school received top marks for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a clean sweep of Grade 1 ratings. That places it among just 26 primary schools in Leeds to hold an Outstanding rating, out of 221 in the local authority. But the real story is in the exam data. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 87% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure puts the school fourth out of 204 primaries in Leeds, and in the top 5% nationally. It also sits well above the Leeds local authority average of 61%, making it one of the strongest academic performers in the area.
