Check the area around this school
153rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.4/10 against 3,377 of them, against 5.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Langmoor Primary School Oadby
Overview
Langmoor Primary School is described as a "welcoming school with a strong community spirit" where pupils feel valued and behave well. However, the report states that the curriculum lacks precision in many subjects, leading to gaps in knowledge, and that leadership checks are not rigorous enough.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "good" behaviour and attitudes, creating a "calm and orderly place to learn."
- The school fosters strong personal development, helping pupils understand how to keep their "body and mind healthy and safe."
- Pupils achieve well in mathematics because the curriculum "precisely identifies what pupils must know and remember."
- Staff feel "well supported" and appreciate that their workload and well-being are considered in decision-making.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities have their barriers to learning "identified quickly" and receive tailored support.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum in many foundation subjects and the early years does not "clearly define the knowledge that pupils must recall and know," risking gaps in understanding.
- Safeguarding practices and procedures are "not as precise as they could be," with records sometimes not logged adequately to build a "holistic, chronological picture" of pupils’ needs.
- Curriculum implementation is inconsistent, and some staff lack the "knowledge and expertise to deliver all of the school’s curriculum," slowing down learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, though the report notes that some policies, records, and procedures require strengthening to ensure they are precise and systematic.
