About Burton-on-the-Wolds Primary School

Burton-on-the-Wolds Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, but the detail behind that grade tells a more nuanced story. The school was previously rated Outstanding in 2018, and while its overall effectiveness was not judged in the latest visit, inspectors awarded an Outstanding mark for personal development. Behaviour and attitudes, quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management were all rated Good. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 72 per cent. That is comfortably above the Leicestershire local authority average of 62 per cent, placing the school in the top third of primaries nationally and 15th out of 45 schools within the Charnwood district. It is a solid, above-average performance that reflects consistent teaching rather than headline-grabbing results.
