The 15 best Leeds primary schools for attendance - with the lowest absence rates

The Government has released the latest attendance data for primary schools in Leeds.

Families rely on primary schools to help children master basic skills they’ll need for the rest of their lives and Leeds parents likely won’t be surprised to learn that some of the city’s top performing primary schools also have some of the best rates of children showing up for class.

Last week, the Department for Education released its latest absence and attendance figures, covering the full 2024/25 school year.

Data showed that overall absence rate at primary schools across England decreased to 5.20 per cent in 2024/25, down from 5.53 per cent in 2023/24. It also found that pupils who attended school nearly every day in Year 6 were more likely to meet the Government’s expected standards in reading, writing and maths.

Using this data, the Yorkshire Evening Post has compiled a list of the 15 Leeds primary schools with the lowest rates of pupils missing classes. View our gallery below and see whether your child’s school made the list...
