Highcliffe Primary School and Community Centre
Leicester, LE4 3DL · Leicestershire · primary school
172nd 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 3,668 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7/10 among them, against 2.0/10 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 | 49.0 · 17 | 40% | 0.69 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 49.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7 out of 10 among them, against 2.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Rock Steady, Wellbeing Ambassadors, Play Buddies, and the Eco-Committee. They learn keyboard, guitar, stringed instruments, and African drums, and sing in the school choir. Swimming is offered as a sport, with trips to the pantomime and Young Voices. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 405 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 15 spare places. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive for new applicants.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not meeting the expected standard in core subjects? What specific strategies are used to raise attainment in reading and writing? How does the school manage the transition for children joining a nearly full intake?
