About Gaddesby Primary School

Gaddesby Primary School was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, with inspectors awarding the highest possible mark of Outstanding for behaviour and attitudes. That judgement aligns well with what the school’s academic data shows: 70% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year, comfortably above the Leicestershire local authority average of 62%. The school also performed strongly in individual subjects — 96% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, and 83% did so in writing. At the higher standard, 22% of pupils achieved greater depth in writing, while 13% did so in reading and 9% in maths. The school’s average scaled scores of 105 in maths and 104 in reading are solid, and its ranking of 1st out of 18 primary schools in the Melton borough underlines its strong local standing.
