Pudsey Grangefield has been classified as being a ‘good’ school by Ofsted inspectors.
The school had been classified as being ‘in need of improvement’ since September 2014, but the latest report from April says ‘teaching is now good overall, and the progress made by pupils has accelerated considerably over the last two years’.
The report adds:
“The principal leads the school with passion and determination. Leaders, including governors, are ambitious for the pupils in the school. Their strong leadership has led to better teaching, improved behaviour and more rapid progress for pupils. They review the curriculum regularly, to ensure that it meets the needs of pupils.”
There was also praise for the ‘good’ behaviour of pupils.
The school said on social media:
“We are pleased that the quality of the school has been highlighted by Ofsted. Congratulations to our fantastic staff, students, parents and Governors on this significant achievement.”

While you’re here…
Producing your daily dose of West Leeds Dispatch comes at a cost!
There’s the hosting of the website you’re reading now, running our popular e-mail newsletter, membership of independent press regulator Impress, attending summer events, paying for equipment etc etc.
We need at least £200 a month just to break even – that’s money currently coming out of the pockets of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about what’s happening in our communities, connecting you with local groups and organisations as well as holding decision-makers to account and championing local issues.
And all that’s BEFORE we even think about paying something for people’s time – for instance, our editor puts in more than 24 hours a week in his ‘spare’ time to ensure The Dispatch publishes daily.
To put it bluntly, after nearly four years of daily publishing, we are not sustainable!
