About Greystoke Primary School

Greystoke Primary School in Blaby is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 334 pupils against a capacity of 420. That leaves some room for growth, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 130 applications for just 37 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.51. Of those, 32 first-preference families were offered a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 15.6%, which is broadly in line with the national average for primary schools and gives the intake a genuinely mixed socioeconomic profile. The school has a nursery provision attached, so families with younger siblings may find continuity appealing. With a non-religious character and no uniform data to speak of, the school presents as a straightforward community primary — one that local families are clearly keen to get into.
