About Westbrook Lane Primary School

Westbrook Lane Primary School’s headline metrics put it well ahead of the Leeds local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (RWM) sits at 61%, Westbrook Lane achieves 80% — a significant gap of 19 percentage points. That performance places the school 22nd out of 221 primary schools in Leeds, comfortably inside the top 25% of its local authority. It also ranks in the top 12% nationally for the same measure. This is a small school — just 206 pupils against a capacity of 210 — and its results suggest that academic standards are consistently high across the board. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 rated it Good overall, with personal development judged Outstanding. That’s a notable shift from its previous inspection in 2007, when it was rated Outstanding across the board, but the current Good rating still reflects strong performance, particularly in how the school supports pupils’ character and wellbeing.
