About Horsforth Newlaithes Primary School

Horsforth Newlaithes Primary School sits within the Leeds local authority, a large and varied area for primary education. Among the 204 state primary schools in Leeds, it ranks 26th, placing it comfortably in the top 13% of schools in the borough. Its closest high-performing peers include Harewood Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, Shadwell Primary School, and St Philip's Catholic Primary School, all of which score slightly higher on the same ranking metric. The school is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 419 pupils, just one short of its official capacity of 420. Headteacher Marc Hayes leads a school that, in its most recent graded inspection in 2013, was rated Outstanding overall, with Outstanding leadership and management. An ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good, a slight shift from its previous Outstanding rating, though the inspection was not a full graded review.
