About Spring Bank Primary School

Spring Bank Primary School sits below the Leeds local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with the LA average at 61% reaching the expected standard. The school itself has a Requires Improvement rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, a grade it has held across both its 2017 and 2021 inspections. That said, the picture is not uniformly weak: inspectors rated both personal development and behaviour and attitudes as Good, suggesting that while academic delivery needs work, the school gets the pastoral side right. With 26.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals — above the national average — Spring Bank serves a community with above-average disadvantage, which often correlates with lower headline scores. The school is oversubscribed for its 30 Reception places in 2025/26, with 80 total applications and only 14 first-preference offers, indicating strong local demand despite the Ofsted rating. That demand may reflect parents valuing the school's inclusive ethos and the specific support it offers, rather than raw academic metrics.
