About Croft Church of England Primary School

Croft Church of England Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 metric sits almost exactly in line with the Leicestershire local authority average, but the detail beneath that tells a more nuanced story. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 61%, just a single percentage point below the LA average of 62%. That places Croft 113th out of 231 primary schools of the same type in the county, putting it squarely in the middle of the pack. However, the school’s ranking within Blaby is notably weaker: it comes 17th out of 25 schools, which places it in the bottom 50% of its immediate borough. The gap between its local and county standing suggests that while Croft is broadly typical for Leicestershire, it faces stiffer competition from nearby primaries in Blaby, several of which achieve significantly higher scores.
