Primary schools in Leeds: the 9 best primary schools in Leeds according to Government data

The Government regularly releases a list of the highest performing primary schools in Leeds.

Performance is assessed based on how many pupils are meeting the expected standard in reading, maths and writing.

Pupils are meeting the expected standard if they achieve a scaled score of 100 or more in their reading and maths tests, and their teacher assesses them as 'working at the expected standard' or better in writing.
