Queensway Primary School
About Queensway Primary School
Queensway Primary School in Leeds is a small state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently operating well below its capacity of 105 with just 81 children on roll. That spare capacity is notable because the school is actually oversubscribed for 2025/26: it received 39 applications for 12 places, with all 12 first-preference offers accepted, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.25. The pupil body is significantly more disadvantaged than the national average, with 56.8% of children eligible for free school meals, a figure that places it among the highest in the local authority. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Emily Bevan. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in December 2024, judged the school Good across all five graded areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a marked improvement from its previous inspection in June 2022, when it was rated Inadequate overall.
