Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
6.6/10 Above average

34th 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 — 7.4/10 against 4,299 of them, against 7.4/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 70.0 · 65 40% 2.62
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 17.0 · 87 25% 2.18

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.4 out of 10 either way).

Getting in. The school has 181 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 29 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What does the daily timetable look like for a Year 6 student? How does the Catholic ethos influence the curriculum and community life?
