About Little London Academy

Little London Academy’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated the school as Requires Improvement overall, though the picture is more mixed than that single label suggests. The inspection found that the quality of education, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes were all Good, while leadership and management and early years provision were judged as Requires Improvement. This represents a change from the school’s previous inspection in 2018, when both leadership and management and overall effectiveness were also Requires Improvement, but early years provision was rated Good at that time. On the most important academic metric available for a primary school, Key Stage 2 SATs results, the school’s performance sits below the Leeds local authority average of 61 per cent of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That gap is worth noting for parents focused on academic outcomes, though the Good rating for quality of education suggests the school is making progress in the classroom.
