About Kippax North Primary School

Kippax North Primary School is a primary school in Leeds, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 237 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 60% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 7.0 percentage points compared with 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 108 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 93% of the families who made Kippax North Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 1.18 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 6.2%. There are about 18.9 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
