Check the area around this school
35th 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 2,757 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.8/10 among them, against 6.6/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 62% | 4.02 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
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 Lady Jane Grey Primary School
Overview
Lady Jane Grey Primary School is described as a place where "respectful relationships are at the heart" of the community, with pupils who "achieve well" and are considered "an asset to the school." The report highlights a nurturing environment where staff provide "nurturing care" and parents "wholeheartedly recommend" the school. While the quality of education, behaviour, personal development, leadership, and early years provision are all judged as Good, the report notes that the school does not receive an overall effectiveness grade, in line with current Ofsted policy.
Strengths
- The school prioritises reading, establishing a "strong reading culture" with a "thorough and structured approach" to teaching phonics.
- Pupils develop "resilience, empathy, self-awareness, passion, excellence, communication and teamwork" inspired by the school’s ‘RESPECT’ values.
- Early years provision has improved significantly, with children eager to learn in an "impressive new outdoor area" and supported to "write confidently".

- Pupils are "polite and well-mannered," showing "great care for peers who need extra support" and responding positively to staff guidance.
Areas to improve

- Staff have been provided with "limited professional development" to enhance expertise and drive necessary improvements.
