About this school
Cobden Primary School is a primary academy in Leeds. It teaches children aged 3 to 11.
Ofsted has not yet inspected Cobden Primary School under its current framework. Numbers and a report only go so far, so visit in person before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Cobden Primary School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in September 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Cobden Primary School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Cobden Primary School (closed August 2026)
Ofsted did not give an overall grade. Between September 2024 and September 2025 inspections graded each area of a school's work without a single overall judgement, ahead of the move to report cards. How Ofsted report cards work

- Leadership and management

Ofsted placed the school in a category of concern: serious weaknesses.

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
