Leigham Primary School

School overview

Leigham Primary School is a primary school serving Plymouth, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 388 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 14.0 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 in the top 29% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 13% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Leigham Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 29 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.8%. There are about 19.8 pupils per teacher. Leigham Primary School 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.
