Primary schools in Leeds, ranked
The 182 primary schools here are ranked by the share of pupils who reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths in 2024/25, from the Department for Education's published results.
Exam results are one part of the picture, and rankings never include Ofsted judgements: inspections from different eras cannot fairly be compared. Special schools and independent schools are not ranked, because their published figures do not compare fairly either. Each school's own page has its inspection history and context.

Common questions
- Which is the best primary school in Leeds?
- By 2024/25 exam results alone, Harewood Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School ranks first of 182 ranked primary schools in Leeds, with 100% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Results reflect each school's cohort as well as its teaching, so treat the ranking as a starting point rather than a verdict.
- How are schools in Leeds ranked?
- Primary schools are ranked by the share of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths in 2024/25, from the Department for Education's published results. Ofsted judgements are never part of the ranking, because inspections from different eras cannot fairly be compared, and special and independent schools are not ranked because their published figures do not compare fairly.
- How many primary schools are ranked in Leeds?
- 182 primary schools in Leeds published 2024/25 results and are ranked here. Schools without published results, special schools and independent schools are listed on the area's own page instead.
Exam results come from the Department for Education's school performance service and cover the 2024/25 academic year. Schools without published results for that year are not listed.
