Check the area around this school
160th 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 4,060 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 2.4/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Husbands Bosworth Church of England Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection confirms that Husbands Bosworth Church of England Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The school retains its previous “good” overall effectiveness judgement, with inspectors noting a “strong capacity for continued improvement” and effective leadership across the trust.
Strengths
- The school fosters a “big family feel” where relationships are positive, pupils are inclusive, and behaviour is well managed through the ‘Ready, Respectful and Responsible’ ethos.
- The curriculum is “well organised” with content taught in a logical order; early reading is taught well, helping pupils become “fluent readers” who develop a “love of reading.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “well supported” through clear plans and early identification of needs.
- Wider development is a strength, with pupils prepared well for life in modern Britain through a “well-planned curriculum for relationships and sex education and health education.”
Areas to improve
- The school must check how well its recently implemented early years curriculum is working to ensure children are reaching expected milestones.
- In some subjects, pupils’ recall of learned content is inconsistent; the school should ensure pupils consistently know and remember the identified curriculum content rather than just recalling activities.
- Safeguarding records are incomplete in a small number of cases; the school must consistently record all decisions and actions taken to keep pupils safe.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, although inspectors noted that in a small number of cases, records were incomplete as they did not show the full range of decisions and actions taken.
