Booth Wood Academy

About Booth Wood Academy

Booth Wood Academy sits within the Leicestershire local authority, one of only eight primary schools out of 231 in the area to hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. That puts it in a small, select group locally, though it is not the top-ranked school in its immediate peer set — Swithland St Leonard's Church of England Primary School leads the local ranking, followed by Long Whatton Church of England Primary School and Community Centre and Brocks Hill Primary School, both tied on the same score. The nearest other Outstanding-rated primary is Newcroft Primary Academy, 2.9 km away. Headteacher Heather Sharpe leads a school that is at full capacity with 210 pupils, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 111 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.7 to one, with 35 first-preference applications resulting in 30 offers. This is a school that families in Charnwood clearly want to get into.
