About Meanwood Church of England Primary School

Meanwood Church of England Primary School sits comfortably above the Leeds local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 81% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to a LA average of 61%. That 20-point gap is significant and places the school in the top 10% of primaries nationally for this measure. It also ranks 17th out of 204 primary schools in Leeds, putting it firmly in the upper tier of the authority. The school is oversubscribed by a wide margin — 175 applications for 30 places in 2025/26, with a ratio of nearly six applicants per place — which reflects its strong local reputation. While its most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2024 rated overall effectiveness as Good, down from Outstanding in 2013, the inspectors still judged personal development as Outstanding, and the school continues to deliver results that outpace most of its Leeds peers.
