St Mary's Fields Academy
410, LE3 2DH · Leicester · primary school
63rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.6/10 against 3,285 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 62.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in January 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 445 pupils in a capacity of 472, leaving 27 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? What specific actions have been taken since the 2023 inspection to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How does the school engage parents in monitoring their child’s progress?
