About Thorpe Primary School

Thorpe Primary School, a state primary in Leeds for children aged 3 to 11, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2023. That overall grade is supported by Good marks across the board for quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. However, the inspection did flag the early years provision as requiring improvement, a notable point for parents considering the nursery. On the academic front, the school’s most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — 59 per cent. That figure sits just below the Leeds local authority average of 61 per cent, placing Thorpe 120th out of 204 primary schools in the area. Nationally, it ranks in the 60th percentile, meaning it performs better than roughly six in ten schools across England.
