About Griffydam Primary School

Griffydam Primary School is a small state primary in North West Leicestershire, currently teaching 97 pupils against a capacity of 105, meaning it runs close to full but with a little breathing room. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 7.2%, well below the national average and a clear signal that the school serves a relatively affluent catchment. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 33 applications for just 12 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.75, with 10 of those applications coming as first preferences and all 10 receiving offers. That level of competition suggests a school that local families are actively targeting, not just one they fall back on. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and takes children from age 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Victoria Wills is the headteacher.
