About Ashby Hastings Primary School

Ashby Hastings Primary School is a state primary in North West Leicestershire that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 138 applications for just 29 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4. 76. Of those applications, 30 were first-preference choices, and 26 families received a first-preference offer. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though it also means securing a place is competitive. The school is relatively small, with 120 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, so there is room for growth. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in June 2024, rated the school Good across all five categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. The headteacher is Rachel Mckeown, and the school has no religious character.
