About Armley Park Primary School

Armley Park Primary School is a primary school in Leeds, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 235 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 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 is down 8.0 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 104 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Armley Park Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 22 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 8.0%. There are about 21.5 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 55% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. 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.
