About Church Hill Infant School

Church Hill Infant School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 100 applications for just 58 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.72. Of those, 53 families put it down as their first preference, and all 53 were offered a spot. That kind of demand suggests parents who get to know the school tend to be keen on it. The school itself is a state primary for boys and girls aged 5 to 7, based in the Charnwood borough of Leicestershire. It’s not a large school — 159 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270 — so classes feel relatively small. The headteacher is Claire Elliott, and the school has no religious character. With 14.5 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, it serves a broadly mixed catchment.
