About Stanningley Primary School

Stanningley Primary School sits comfortably above the Leeds local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 70% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a LA average of 61%. That nine-percentage-point gap places the school in the top third of primary schools nationally, ranked 65th out of 204 in Leeds. The school’s maths results are particularly strong — 87% of pupils met the expected standard and 30% achieved the higher standard, both well above typical figures for the area. Reading and writing expected rates are also solid at 80% and 83% respectively. While the school doesn’t top the LA leaderboard — that honour goes to Harewood Church of England and Shadwell Primary — it delivers results that are clearly ahead of most local primaries, especially given that 29.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that often correlates with lower attainment. For families looking for a state primary in Leeds that consistently outperforms the local norm, Stanningley makes a strong case.
