About King David Primary School

King David Primary School in Manchester has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a grade it has held across both its most recent inspections. In its 2023 ungraded inspection, the school was confirmed to have maintained this top rating, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged Outstanding. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 73%. That is significantly above the Manchester local authority average of 57%, placing the school 15th out of 122 primary schools in the borough and in the top 25% nationally. This strong performance is consistent across individual subjects: 93% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 88% in maths, and 75% in writing. Average scaled scores in reading and maths both sit at 108, comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. While the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in all three subjects is modest at 2%, the school clearly excels at ensuring the vast majority of its children leave Key Stage 2 with a solid foundation.
