These primary schools topped new performance tables 🌟

The Government’s new preliminary performance figures for state-funded primary schools have just been released. From this data, we’ve been able to compare how state primary schools across Yorkshire performed in the most recent school year.

The key figure it’s based on is the percentage of each school’s pupils who completed Year 6 in the 2024/25 academic year who met the government’s expected standards in three key areas: reading, writing and maths.

But grades aren’t the only way to measure school success. We’ve also made sure each one on our league table had a positive mark in its latest Ofsted inspection. These are soon set to change, but we’ve restricted the list to schools with either a ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ overall grade under the previous system, or positive ratings across all categories under the current one.

This means that the quality of education provided, student behaviour and attitudes, school leadership and management and student safeguarding were all found to meet or exceed government standards last time the school was inspected.

Here are the 27 state primary schools across Yorkshire that topped the list:
