About All Saints Church of England Primary School, Sapcote
All Saints Church of England Primary School in Sapcote is a state primary for 268 pupils, well below its capacity of 360, which suggests there is room for growth. The school serves a community where 19.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits above the national average for primary schools and indicates a significant level of disadvantage among its intake. Despite this, demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 65 applications for just 21 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.1 to one. All 19 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning the overspill came from families who listed the school lower on their form. This combination of high demand and available capacity paints a picture of a school that is popular locally but not yet stretched to its limit.
Academically, the school has made a clear improvement. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, it was rated Good across all categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. This marks a significant step up from its previous inspection in 2021, when it was rated Requires Improvement. At Key Stage 2 in 2023/24, 42% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the local authority average of 62%. The school ranks 24th out of 25 primary schools in Blaby on this measure, placing it in the bottom 50% nationally. However, individual subject scores show some bright spots: 77% met the expected standard in writing, and average reading and maths scores were 103 and 101 respectively, both close to the national average of 100.
The school offers a solid range of facilities, including a forest school, chapel, sports hall, and art studios, alongside clubs such as art, coding, chess and choir. Sports provision includes cross country, athletics, tennis and rounders. For children with additional needs, the school lists support for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, social and emotional mental health, and physical disabilities. With its Church of England character and strong local demand, All Saints is a good fit for families in Sapcote and the surrounding area who value a faith-based primary with a broad extracurricular offer, though those prioritising top-tier academic results may want to look at higher-performing schools in the region.
