Ladywood Primary School
About Ladywood Primary School
Ladywood Primary School sits in Barnsley, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 63. The school itself doesn't have published KS2 results in the data, so a direct numerical comparison isn't possible. What we do know is that its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good overall, with Good for both leadership and management and the quality of education. That's a solid, middle-of-the-road rating in a borough where only three out of 77 primary schools have achieved Outstanding. The school is clearly doing something right to hold that Good rating, especially given that its previous graded inspection, back in 2013, also awarded a Good overall. The 2023 ungraded inspection confirmed it remains Good, suggesting consistent quality rather than a recent jump in performance.
