Robin Hood Primary School

About Robin Hood Primary School

Robin Hood Primary School sits slightly above the Leeds local authority average for its key stage 2 results, with 64% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 61%. That three-point gap is modest but consistent, and the school’s national percentile ranking of 47.3 places it almost exactly in the middle of all primary schools in England. Within Leeds, it ranks 99th out of 204 primary schools, putting it in the top half of the authority. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, confirmed by an ungraded inspection in 2023, though its previous graded inspection in 2018 gave it Good across the board for leadership, management and overall effectiveness. The early years provision was also rated Good. This is a solid, middle-of-the-road performer that delivers slightly above the local norm without being among the top tier.

Looking more closely at the 2023/24 key stage 2 data, the school’s strengths lie in maths and reading, where average scores both sit at 105, and 81% of pupils met the expected standard in maths. Reading and writing expected rates are 70% and 73% respectively. The proportion reaching the higher standard is lower: 25% in maths, 33% in reading, and just 6% achieving the higher benchmark across all three subjects. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, though it is worth noting that its 2011 inspection awarded an Outstanding overall effectiveness, so the trajectory has been a slight decline in the Ofsted judgement, even if the current rating remains solid.

Robin Hood Primary is oversubscribed: for 47 places in 2025/26, it received 113 applications, a ratio of 2.4 applicants per place, and all 45 first-preference applicants were offered a place. The school has a nursery provision and caters for children from age 3 to 11. Its facilities include a gymnasium, library, art studios, playing fields, ICT suite and a chapel. Sports on offer are netball, athletics, dance and cricket, while clubs range from coding and science club to film club, chess, choir and book club. The school lists eight SEND provisions, covering specific learning difficulties, moderate to severe learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language difficulties, hearing impairment, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. With 10.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a relatively low-poverty intake compared with the national average. This is a well-resourced, popular primary that suits families looking for a broadly average academic profile with strong local demand and a wide range of enrichment activities.
