Leopold Primary School

About Leopold Primary School

Leopold Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 87 applications for just 36 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.42. That means more than two families applied for every spot, and all 35 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it first, the odds are very good. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high demand alone signals strong local confidence. The headteacher, Theresa Landreth, leads a large primary of 543 pupils, operating below its capacity of 630. The school also offers nursery provision, making it a convenient option for families looking for a single-site journey from age three through to Year 6.

Academically, Leopold performs solidly against local benchmarks. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits just above the Brent local authority average of 65%. That places the school 26th out of 52 primaries in the borough, squarely in the middle of the pack. Looking at individual subjects, 80% met expectations in both maths and writing, while 73% did so in reading. At the higher standard, 9% of pupils achieved greater depth across all three subjects. Reading and maths average scaled scores were 104 and 103 respectively. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2011, where leadership, early years provision and overall effectiveness were all judged Good.

Leopold offers a broad set of facilities for a state primary, including a sports hall, playing fields, art studios, music rooms, an ICT suite and a forest school. Sports on offer include swimming, cricket, athletics, football, tennis and rounders, while clubs cover drama, science and coding. The school is well equipped to support a range of additional needs, with SEND provision listed for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, speech and language needs, visual impairment, autistic spectrum disorder and social, emotional and mental health challenges. With 39.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse and economically mixed community. For families who want a Good-rated, oversubscribed primary with strong local results and a wide range of enrichment, Leopold is a realistic and well-regarded option in Brent.
