About Husbands Bosworth Church of England Primary School

Husbands Bosworth Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent graded inspections. The most recent ungraded inspection in January 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained, with leadership and management also rated Good. Academically, the school’s most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 67%. That is five percentage points above the Leicestershire local authority average of 62%, placing the school 77th out of 231 primary schools of the same type in the county. In the more local Harborough ranking, it comes 14th out of 32 schools. While the combined figure is solid, individual subjects tell a more nuanced story: 92% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and writing, but maths was lower at 75%, and just 8% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects.

Average scores in reading (104) and maths (102) are both above the national benchmark of 100, though progress scores are not available for any of the three core subjects. The school’s ranking score of 67 places it in the top 50% nationally, and within the East Midlands region it sits in the 34th percentile. Parent feedback from the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, is overwhelmingly positive: 93% of the 27 respondents would recommend the school. Strong majorities agreed that their child is happy (97% strongly agree or agree), feels safe (93%), and does well (89%). However, there are some areas of concern — 15% of parents disagreed that the school has high expectations for their child, and 11% disagreed that concerns are dealt with properly, though 44% strongly agreed with that statement.

The school is a Church of England primary for children aged 5 to 11, with a current roll of 98 pupils against a capacity of 105. It is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 32 applications for 12 places, with all 12 first-preference applicants offered a spot. The school offers a range of facilities including a forest school, playing fields, an ICT suite, music rooms and a chapel. Sports include tennis, netball, rounders and cross country, and clubs cover eco, drama and choir. SEND provisions are listed for specific learning difficulties, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. This is a small, popular village school that suits families who value strong core outcomes in reading and writing, a church foundation, and a broad set of outdoor and creative activities.
