About Blaby Stokes Church of England Primary School

Blaby Stokes Church of England Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently operating well below its capacity of 420 with just 251 pupils on roll. The school serves a community where 20.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits above the national average and suggests a higher-than-typical level of disadvantage among its intake. Despite the available space, demand for places is intense: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 78 applications for just 15 total places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 5.2 applicants per place. All 15 first-preference offers were taken up, indicating that for families who choose it as their top option, Blaby Stokes remains a popular local choice. The school is a Church of England foundation, led by headteacher Rachel O'Hara, and its religious character may be a factor for some families when considering the school's ethos and community feel.
