About White Laith Primary School
White Laith Primary School in Leeds holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, with inspectors noting that the school remains Good in an ungraded visit. But the real story is in the exam results. In the 2023/24 academic year, 79% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the Leeds local authority average of 61%. That places the school 29th out of 204 primary schools in the city, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. Maths is a particular strength: every single pupil reached the expected standard, and 45% achieved the higher standard. Reading and writing also performed strongly, with 90% and 79% hitting the expected mark respectively. The school’s overall ranking score of 79 puts it among the top performers in Yorkshire and the Humber, and 14th percentile nationally.
