Mixed Primary Church of England
4.9/10 Broadly average

86th 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 4,266 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 60.0 · 39 62% 2.40
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 10.0 · 66 38% 2.54

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

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7 out of 10 among them, against 4.9 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 138 pupils in a capacity of 157, leaving 19 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What does the typical day look like for a child in Year 6? How does the academy plan to use its current spare places?
