Check the area around this school
177th 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 4,023 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.2/10 among them, against 3.9/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 13 | 35% | 0.45 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Hallbrook Primary School is a place where pupils are "safe, happy and well cared for," with leaders demonstrating a clear commitment to improving outcomes since new senior leadership arrived. The report highlights exceptional standards in attendance and behaviour, alongside strong personal development, while noting that achievement and teaching quality are currently meeting expected standards with ongoing refinement.
Strengths
- Attendance is a "real strength," with leaders acting quickly to support pupils, resulting in very few being persistently absent.
- Behaviour is excellent; classrooms are "calm, orderly and focused," and bullying is rare due to staff dealing with concerns "quickly and effectively."

- Pastoral support is a "major strength," using a restorative approach that helps pupils repair relationships and feel they belong.
- Early years provision gives children a "positive and purposeful start," with strong focus on language and early reading skills.
Areas to improve

- Leaders continue to refine adaptations in some subjects to ensure they have the "same positive impact on pupils' achievement" as in English and mathematics.
