Hovingham Primary School
About Hovingham Primary School
Hovingham Primary School sits within the Leeds local authority, a large urban area with 221 primary schools. In the most recent Ofsted inspection, the school received a Requires Improvement rating, placing it among the minority of Leeds primaries that are not yet graded Good or Outstanding. For context, 26 schools in the authority hold an Outstanding rating, the nearest being Hillcrest Academy just 1.1 kilometres away. Among its local peers, the top-ranked primaries in Leeds include Harewood Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School and Shadwell Primary School, both with a ranking score of 90, and St Philip's Catholic Primary School at 87. Hovingham's current rating means it is working to catch up with these higher-performing neighbours, though the school does benefit from a large capacity of 764 places and offers nursery provision for children from age two.
