About Moortown Primary School

Moortown Primary School sits well above the Leeds local authority average for primary schools, with 84% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, compared to the LA average of 61%. That 23-point gap is significant and places the school 10th out of 204 primary schools in Leeds, putting it in the top 5% locally. It also ranks in the top 5% nationally. The school is heavily oversubscribed — for 30 places in 2025/26, there were 281 applications, a ratio of over nine to one, and 31 first-preference applications for those 30 places. That level of demand reflects a reputation that parents clearly trust. The school is led by headteacher David Roundtree and has a non-religious character, serving 211 pupils aged 4 to 11, just over its official capacity of 210.
