About Ibstock Junior School

Ibstock Junior School’s Key Stage 2 results sit below the Leicestershire average, with 54% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a local authority average of 62%. That eight-point gap places the school 154th out of 231 primary schools of the same type in the county, and 29th out of 41 in North West Leicestershire. In reading and maths individually, 73% of pupils met the expected standard in each, while 67% did so in writing. The average scaled scores of 105 for reading and 104 for maths are solid, though the proportion reaching the higher standard is notably low in writing at just 2%, compared with 30% in reading and 15% in maths. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025 judged it Good overall, with leadership and management also rated Good. This was an ungraded inspection that confirmed standards were maintained, a significant improvement from the school’s previous graded inspection in 2016, which had rated it Inadequate.
