About Oulton Primary School

Oulton Primary School in Leeds was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school received Good across all five graded categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management, as well as for early years provision. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 49% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is notably below the Leeds local authority average of 61%, placing Oulton 158th out of 204 primary schools in the area, in the bottom half of the local rankings. Nationally, the school sits in the 80th percentile, meaning roughly one in five schools nationally perform worse on this combined measure.
