The date by which families need to apply is January 15 - a date set nationally, although applications are handled by local authorities, but which Leeds primary schools were ranked the best according to Ofsted in 2025?
Well as the 2026 reception deadline looms, we have compiled a list of the best-rated primary schools, located within 10 miles of Leeds city centre, who scored an Outstanding or Good for both behaviour and attitudes, and quality of education, during full Ofsted inspections last year.
Under the education watchdog’s old framework, schools were graded across five sub-categories; quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision.
View our gallery below and see whether your child’s chosen school made the list...
