Here are all 12 primary schools that schools regulator Ofsted considers to be among the best in the country, according to their most recent full inspections.
1. Beeston Hill St Luke's Primary School
Despite a full inspection report not being published on the school since 2008, an interim assessment in 2011 stated "performance has been sustained". The original report stated: "This outstanding school provides excellent value for money. Since its previous inspection, it has gone from strength to strength and responded amazingly well to the many new challenges it has faced due to a changing social setting." Photo: Google
