Blisworth Community Primary School
About Blisworth Community Primary School
Blisworth Community Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 28 first-preference applications for its 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and an oversubscription ratio of 1.67. That means for every place, nearly two families put it as their top pick. While the school doesn't have a published parent-view survey, the high demand speaks for itself. The school is led by headteacher Leah Jenkins and currently has 159 pupils on roll, well within its capacity of 210. It serves a mixed cohort, with 10.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average. The school is non-denominational and caters to children aged 4 to 11. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, a graded visit in 2017, rated it Good overall, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. That's a solid improvement from its previous 2015 inspection, where it was judged to Require Improvement.
