Houghton-on-the-Hill Church of England Primary School
Leicester, LE7 9GD · Leicestershire · primary school
80th 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 3,590 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.2/10 among them, against 5.0/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% 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 3.2 out of 10 among them, against 5.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Excite Club, Cooking, Football, Music Tuition, and Residential Visits. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 208 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving just 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the high demand for its limited remaining places?
