Hollycroft Primary School

About Hollycroft Primary School

Hollycroft Primary School is a small state primary in Hinckley and Bosworth that clearly commands strong local confidence. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 123 applications for just 23 places, an oversubscription ratio of 5.35, meaning more than five families applied for every available spot. All 20 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while competition is fierce, those who put it top of their list are likely to succeed. The school is led by headteacher Natalie Hackett and has no religious character, so it draws families purely on its reputation rather than a faith-based catchment. With only 47 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is operating well below its physical size, which may reflect its selective local appeal or simply the demographics of the area. ParentView data is not available in this dataset, but the sheer volume of applications relative to places is a strong signal of satisfaction among local families.
