About Humberstone Junior School

Humberstone Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in Leicester, and it is running very close to full. With 357 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, there is almost no slack in the system, which suggests strong local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 25.8%, a figure that is significantly higher than the national primary average of around 23% and signals a genuinely mixed intake in terms of socio-economic background. The school is non-denominational and mixed gender, so it draws from a broad cross-section of the local community. Oversubscription is likely given how close the school is to capacity, and parents should check the Leicester local authority admissions criteria carefully. The school sits within a competitive local landscape, ranking 18th out of 82 primary schools in the authority, and is one of only five schools in Leicester rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
