About Highgate Primary School

Highgate Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in the Leicestershire local authority, serving children aged 4 to 11 in the Charnwood borough. It currently ranks 27th out of 45 primary schools in the area, placing it in the middle of the local pack. The top-performing peers nearby include Swithland St Leonard's Church of England Primary School, Long Whatton Church of England Primary School and Community Centre, and Brocks Hill Primary School, all of which score higher on the ranking metric. With 228 pupils on roll against a capacity of 313, the school is not yet full, though it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, receiving 89 applications for 27 places and offering all 27 to first-preference families.
