Foxton Primary School
About Foxton Primary School
Foxton Primary School sits within Leicestershire local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11. Among the 231 primary schools in the same LA, it is not among the very highest-ranked peers — those are Swithland St Leonard's Church of England Primary School, Long Whatton Church of England Primary School and Community Centre, and Brocks Hill Primary School — but it holds a solid position in the local landscape. The school is small, with 93 pupils against a capacity of 105, and is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 70 applications for just 14 places, with 12 of those going to first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 5 to 1 suggests strong local demand, even if the school doesn't top the local rankings. Its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', so it serves a broad catchment without a faith-based admissions criteria. Headteacher George Norman leads a school that has maintained a Good Ofsted rating across its two most recent inspections.
