About Ireland Wood Primary School

Ireland Wood Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other primary schools across Leeds. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — slightly below the Leeds local authority average of 61%. That places the school 130th out of 204 primaries in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of the league table. The gap is modest but worth noting for parents who prioritise headline attainment figures. However, the school’s individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 78% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 72% did so in reading, both solid figures. Where the school really falls short is in writing, where only 63% hit the expected mark, and in the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard across all three subjects — just 15%, compared with a stronger showing of 28% in maths alone.
