About Rothwell Primary School

Rothwell Primary School was rated Good across all five categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has now held consistently since at least 2013. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths, which sits at 66% of pupils. That figure is five percentage points above the Leeds local authority average of 61%, placing the school in the top half of primaries nationally and within the top 50% of all schools in Yorkshire and the Humber. While 11% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three subjects, the school’s strongest individual subject at the higher level was reading, where 30% of pupils achieved that benchmark. Maths and writing each saw 18% of pupils reach the higher standard. The school’s average scaled scores in reading (106) and maths (105) are both above the national baseline of 100, reinforcing a picture of solid, above-average attainment across the core subjects.
