About Fleckney Church of England Primary School

Fleckney Church of England Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with a clear signal of demand in its most recent admissions round. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 110 applications for 52 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 12, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. All 52 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is oversubscribed, being a first-choice applicant gives you a strong chance. ParentView data is not available in the school’s most recent Ofsted report, so we can’t quote a specific recommendation percentage, but the high level of first-preference applications is a practical indicator of local satisfaction. The school is a Church of England primary in the village of Fleckney, part of the Harborough borough in Leicestershire, and is led by headteacher Josh Richards. It currently has 466 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, so there is some physical space, but the oversubscription figures show it is clearly a sought-after option for the 4-11 age group.
