About Belvoirdale Community Primary School

Belvoirdale Community Primary School in North West Leicestershire is a state-funded mixed primary for ages 4 to 11, currently home to 319 pupils against a capacity of 350. That leaves a little breathing room, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 118 applications for 43 places, with 43 first-preference offers made and an oversubscription ratio of 2.74. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 34.5%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests a catchment with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school’s religious character is listed as 'does not apply', so there is no faith-based admissions criterion. Headteacher Richard Dax leads a school that, based on these numbers, serves a diverse local community and is a popular first choice among families in the area.
