Welcome to Pudsey Lowtown Primary School

Message from Mrs Armitage, Headteacher

On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I would like to welcome you to Pudsey Lowtown Primary School.

Lowtown is a friendly and welcoming one-form entry primary school in Pudsey.

We were judged as ‘good’ in our most recent OfSTED inspection in 2023;

Pupils enjoy their learning in this school. The curriculum is being regularly refined and improved. Leaders are ambitious for pupils academically and in relation to their personal development. Pupils know they are cared for. As one pupil said, ‘All the teachers are there for you. They really care.’

OfSTED 2023

Our school have maintained high academic standards and we have achieved results above Leeds and National averages in all Key Stages over the past 3 years.
