Braunstone Community Primary School

About Braunstone Community Primary School

Braunstone Community Primary School sits within the Leicester local authority, a large primary phase where only five of 82 schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself ranks 59th out of 68 primary schools in the city on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half locally. For context, the top-performing peers in Leicester include Whitehall Primary School, St Thomas More Catholic Voluntary Academy, and Queensmead Primary Academy, all of which score significantly higher on the same metric. Braunstone’s ranking reflects a school serving a community with high levels of disadvantage — 60.7 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. The school’s most recent graded inspection, in 2019, rated it Good overall, with Good marks across all categories including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. A subsequent ungraded inspection in February 2025 confirmed that standards have been maintained, which is a positive signal of consistency under headteacher Sharon Walker.
