Middleton Primary School
About Middleton Primary School
Middleton Primary School in Leeds holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 42% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well below the Leeds local authority average of 61%, placing the school 180th out of 204 primary schools in the area and in the bottom 50% nationally. On individual subjects, reading fared best, with 64% of pupils meeting the expected standard and an average scaled score of 102. Maths followed at 59% expected, with an average score of 101, while writing lagged at 54%. Higher-standard attainment was low across the board: just 10% reached the higher bar in reading, 8% in maths, and none in writing or the combined measure. The school’s ranking score of 42 reflects these challenges, though the Ofsted report notes that leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all remain Good.
