Check the area around this school
152nd 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 4,203 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.3/10 among them, against 4.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 8 | 35% | 0.27 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

In 2024/25, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 6.0%, against a national median of 7%. An Ofsted inspection in February 2026 used the new framework, grading areas separately without an overall grade.

What Ofsted said about Frisby Church of England Primary School
Overview
Frisby Church of England Primary School provides an education that meets the "expected standard" across most areas, with a "warm, family feel" where pupils are safe and enjoy attending. While leaders have established high expectations for attendance and behaviour, resulting in rates "above average," the report identifies "inconsistencies in the quality of teaching" and notes that some pupils do not secure foundational knowledge as quickly as they could.
Strengths
- Pupils "generally achieve well" and demonstrate "secure knowledge across the curriculum," with disadvantaged and SEND pupils making good progress.
- Attendance is "above average" and improving, supported by "well-established systems" that swiftly identify and address barriers.
- Behaviour is excellent; pupils are "kind, friendly and understanding," and bullying is "not tolerated."
- The early years provide a "calm, nurturing and purposeful environment" where children settle quickly and develop essential skills.
- Leaders show a "clear commitment to inclusion," ensuring staff have the expertise to support pupils with special educational needs effectively.
Areas to improve
- Teachers must take appropriate action to "quickly close any gaps" so pupils secure foundational knowledge in early reading, letter formation, and writing.
- Staff need training to make adaptations that support "higher-attaining pupils" to learn the curriculum deeply, as tasks sometimes "lack appropriate ambition" for them.
- Leaders should ensure consistency in checking how well pupils learn to write fluently, as current checks are "less consistent" than those for reading.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
