About Eyres Monsell Primary School

Parents considering Eyres Monsell Primary School will find a school that is clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 64 applications for 46 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.39, and 45 of those applications were first-preference choices. That level of demand suggests a solid reputation among families in Leicester. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in February 2024, confirmed it remains a Good school, a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2018 when it was rated Requires Improvement. Leadership and management, alongside early years provision, were both judged Good. While the school does not publish a parent-view survey score, the combination of oversubscription and a stable Good rating from Ofsted points to a school that has regained the confidence of its community.
