12th of 71 primary schools in Leicester we can score, 82 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 2,757 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.2/10 among them, against 6.9/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Krishna Avanti Primary School
Overview
Krishna Avanti Primary School continues to be a good school, described as “happy and thriving” where pupils feel safe and proud. The inspection confirms that leaders have developed a strong curriculum in most subjects, with staff maintaining high expectations and creating a “calm and purposeful learning environment.” While the school excels in reading and personal development, inconsistencies remain in how some foundation subjects are planned and assessed.
Strengths
- Pupils display “exemplary” behaviour and are “exceptionally well mannered,” showing a clear understanding of difference and equality.
- There is a “sharp focus on reading” from the early years, with a consistent approach to phonics and quick support for those falling behind.
- Staff interactions are of high quality, using key vocabulary repeatedly to reinforce learning and checking understanding before moving on.
- Leaders provide strong support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), adapting teaching so they can access the curriculum.
- Parents and carers are “overwhelmingly positive,” appreciating the school’s values and the approachable nature of staff.
Areas to improve
- Leaders need to refine curriculum aims in some foundation subjects to ensure pupils build knowledge progressively and recall content effectively.
- A consistent approach to assessment must be developed for the wider curriculum, as current systems do not regularly check how successfully pupils access these subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff know how to spot risks and pass on concerns promptly.
