About Valley View Community Primary School

Valley View Community Primary School sits comfortably above the Leeds local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 68% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 61%. That seven-point gap places the school in the top half of primary schools in Leeds, ranked 80th out of 221. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, but its most recent inspection in 2024 awarded a standout Outstanding for behaviour and attitudes, alongside Good marks for quality of education, early years provision, personal development, and leadership and management. This is a school that has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, with the previous one in 2011 also grading it Good overall. The consistency is notable, and the improvement in behaviour to Outstanding suggests a school that has sharpened its focus on conduct and pupil wellbeing in recent years.
