About Charnwood Primary School

Charnwood Primary School in Leicester was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2009. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 64% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just above the Leicester local authority average of 62%, placing Charnwood 33rd out of 68 primary schools in the area. In the East Midlands region, it ranks 565th out of 1,353 schools, and nationally it sits in the 46th percentile. The school’s reading and maths average scores were 105 and 104 respectively, with 85% of pupils reaching the expected standard in writing — the strongest individual subject result. A smaller proportion, 5%, achieved the higher standard across all three subjects.
