About Wigton Moor Primary School

Wigton Moor Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11 in the Leeds local authority, where it ranks 7th out of 204 primary schools. That puts it in the top 4% of its local peers, alongside the highest-performing schools in the area such as Harewood Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, Shadwell Primary School, and Horsforth Featherbank Primary School. The school has no religious character and does not offer a nursery or sixth form. It is led by headteacher Elaine Bown and currently has 419 pupils on roll, just one short of its full capacity of 420. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Outstanding across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. Its previous inspection in 2011 also rated overall effectiveness as Outstanding, so the school has held that top grade across both its graded inspections.
