About Holy Name Catholic Voluntary Academy

Holy Name Catholic Voluntary Academy is a primary school in Leeds, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 208 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 5.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Holy Name Catholic Voluntary Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 22 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 3.8%. There are about 22.8 pupils per teacher. Holy Name Catholic Voluntary Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
