Coalville, LE67 1EN · Leicestershire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
4.7/10 Broadly average

96th of 215 primary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 231 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,152 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 4.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 70.0 · 65 40% 2.62

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. However, 0.0% reached the higher standard. An Ofsted inspection in 2023-09 rated the school Good. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8 out of 10 among them, against 4.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 206 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 4 places remaining, what is the current waiting list status for new admissions? Since 0.0% of pupils reached the higher standard, how does the curriculum support those who have already met the expected standard? How does the school balance the wraparound care provided by the breakfast and after-school clubs with core teaching time?
