Based on the most recent published single-word Ofsted grades. Ofsted stopped issuing overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) in September 2024, so schools inspected more recently — under Ofsted’s report cards — may not have one. Figures cover the 130 of 308 schools here that have a published grade.

Leeds has 308 schools across 12 towns — 221 primary, 41 secondary, educating around 131,940 pupils. 92% of schools with a published Ofsted grade are rated Good or Outstanding (119 of 130). There are currently 111 open teaching jobs in Leeds. Browse schools by town, compare Ofsted ratings and exam results, and find teaching jobs across Leeds.
