About Avenue Primary School

Avenue Primary School in Leicester holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its most recent inspections. The school’s most recent graded inspection took place in 2016, and an ungraded inspection in 2025 confirmed that standards have been sustained. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 55 per cent. That figure is below the Leicester local authority average of 62 per cent, placing the school 45th out of 68 similar primaries in the area. In the East Midlands region, it ranks 878th out of 1,353 primary schools, and nationally it sits in the bottom half of the rankings. The school’s ranking score of 55 places it in the bottom 50 per cent of schools nationally.
