About Kippax Ash Tree Primary School

Kippax Ash Tree Primary School is a state primary in the Leeds local authority, and its most recent data places it 147th out of 204 similar schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the local rankings. For context, the top-performing peers in Leeds include Harewood Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, Shadwell Primary School, and St Philip's Catholic Primary School, all of which sit at the other end of the league table. The school serves a mixed community of 298 pupils from ages 2 to 11, with 27.6 per cent eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average. Its nursery provision means it takes children from the age of two, and the school is heavily oversubscribed: for 22 places in the 2025/26 intake, there were 85 total applications, with 18 first-preference offers made. That oversubscription ratio of 3.86 to one suggests strong local demand, even though the school’s overall ranking is modest compared with the highest-performing primaries in Leeds.
