About Leagrave Primary School

Leagrave Primary School stands out sharply against the Luton local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (the key stage 2 combined measure) sits at 62%, Leagrave achieves 76% — a significant 14 percentage points higher. This strong performance places the school 4th out of 37 primary schools in Luton, putting it in the top 25% nationally. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2024, confirmed that standards are maintained at Outstanding, a rating it first earned in its graded inspection of December 2018. Inspectors judged leadership and management, early years provision and overall effectiveness all as Outstanding. The previous graded inspection in 2014 had rated the school Good, so this represents a clear upward trajectory in quality.
