About Christ the King Catholic Voluntary Academy

Christ the King Catholic Voluntary Academy in Leicester is a primary school that is running very close to full capacity, with 628 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 630. That near-full roll is no surprise given the level of demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 134 applications for just 82 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.63, and all 78 first-preference applicants were offered places. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the local average — just 12.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. As a Roman Catholic voluntary academy, the school serves a mixed-gender, 4-11 age range and is one of only five primary schools in Leicester rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Its most recent inspection, in November 2024, awarded top grades across the board: Outstanding for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision.
