About Southroyd Primary and Nursery School

Southroyd Primary and Nursery School in Leeds earned a Good rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, a significant improvement from its previous Requires improvement grade in 2013. The inspection report noted that standards were maintained in an ungraded visit, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good. On the academic front, the school’s most telling metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 70% of pupils reached this benchmark in 2023/24, comfortably above the Leeds local authority average of 61%. That places Southroyd 64th out of 204 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top third locally and the top third nationally. While the school doesn’t publish progress scores for reading, writing or maths, its average scaled scores of 107 in reading and 105 in maths suggest pupils are performing above the national average of 100.
