About Badgerbrook Primary School

Badgerbrook Primary School in Blaby, Leicestershire, is a state-funded mixed primary for ages 4 to 11 that currently houses 405 pupils against a capacity of 420, so it is running very close to full. Its intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national picture: just 8.2 per cent of pupils qualify for free school meals, compared with a typical primary average of around 23 per cent across England. Demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school offered 51 first-preference places from a total of 140 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.75 applicants per place. That means more than two families applied for every spot, and all 51 first-preference offers were taken up. The school does not have a religious character, so its popularity appears to rest on local reputation and facilities rather than a faith-based catchment.
