About Pudsey Primrose Hill Primary School

Pudsey Primrose Hill Primary School’s key stage 2 results comfortably outpace the Leeds local authority average, marking it out as a strong performer in the area. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 61%, this school achieves 79% — a significant 18-point gap. That places it 27th out of 204 primary schools in Leeds, putting it in the top 13% of the authority. It also ranks in the top 11% nationally. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, awarded it Outstanding across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s a clean sweep of top grades, and it’s worth noting the school has held an Outstanding rating since at least its previous inspection in 2011, so this isn’t a one-off result.
