About Cossington Church of England Primary School

If you are a parent considering Cossington Church of England Primary School, the first thing you will notice is that it is extremely popular. For its 10 available places in the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 91 applications, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 9.1. This means that for every place, there were more than nine families hoping to secure it. Of those 91 applicants, only 9 listed the school as their first preference, and all 9 of those children were offered a place. This level of demand is a strong signal that local parents hold the school in high regard, though it also means that securing a place is competitive. The school is a Church of England primary with a mixed intake for children aged 4 to 11, and it currently has 102 pupils on roll, just under its capacity of 105. Headteacher Matthew Yandell leads a small, close-knit school community in the Charnwood borough of Leicestershire.
