173rd 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 3,647 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 1.8/10 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.88 |
| 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 Queniborough Church of England Primary School
Overview
Queniborough Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school. Pupils are described as happy and safe within a welcoming environment where the school’s values provide a firm foundation for them to flourish. The school maintains high expectations for learning and achievement, supported by a coherent curriculum and strong pastoral care.
Strengths
- Pupils are respectful, courteous, and have positive attitudes towards their learning, using rich vocabulary well.
- The curriculum is suitably ambitious and carefully sequenced, particularly in reading, where phonics instruction begins early and books are matched to sounds pupils are learning.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well and learn the same curriculum as their peers.
- The early years provision lays firm foundations for learning, promoting curiosity and independence through varied indoor and outdoor activities.
- Attendance is managed well, and pupils behave well, meeting the school’s high expectations for conduct and routines.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure assessment is used consistently and precisely across all subjects to accurately understand how secure pupils are in their learning.
- Inconsistencies in checking learning mean that errors and misconceptions are not always identified and resolved quickly enough.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
