About Barwell Infant School

Barwell Infant School sits within Leicestershire’s large primary landscape, where 231 state primaries serve families across the county. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, a solid position in a local authority where only eight schools hold the top Outstanding grade. Among its local peers, the highest-ranked primary is Swithland St Leonard’s Church of England Primary School, followed closely by Long Whatton Church of England Primary School and Community Centre and Brocks Hill Primary School. Barwell Infant School, catering for children aged 4 to 7 in Hinckley and Bosworth, is a smaller-than-average setting with 174 pupils against a capacity of 180. It is a mixed, non-religious state school with no nursery or sixth form provision. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 89 applications for just 38 places, with 35 of those going to first-preference families, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.34. That level of demand suggests it is a first-choice option for many parents in the area.
