About Huncote Primary School

Huncote Primary School sits at the bottom of the Leicestershire primary school rankings, and its headline Key Stage 2 results are significantly below the local authority average. Just 3% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with a county average of 62%. That is a stark gap. The school ranks 203rd out of 231 primary schools in Leicestershire, placing it in the bottom 50% nationally. While the school’s Ofsted rating is Good overall, these academic outcomes suggest that for many children, the basics are not being secured by the end of Year 6. The maths average score of 104 and reading average score of 103 are both close to the national benchmark of 100, but the proportion reaching the higher standard in either subject is low — 14% in maths and 14% in reading, with no pupils reaching the higher standard in writing.
