Desford Community Primary School

About Desford Community Primary School

Desford Community Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2025, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recorded inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 48 per cent. That figure is notably below the local authority average of 62 per cent for similar schools, and it places Desford 178th out of 231 primary schools in Leicestershire. In the more localised Hinckley and Bosworth ranking, the school comes 26th out of 29, putting it in the bottom tier nationally. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 86 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 77 per cent in maths, but writing was a weaker point at 51 per cent. At the higher standard, 37 per cent achieved above expectations in reading and 28 per cent in maths, though no pupils reached that level in writing or in the combined measure.
