About Kingsway Primary School

Kingsway Primary School in Blaby is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 5 to 11, and it is currently operating at full capacity with 315 pupils on roll matching its 315-place school capacity. The school serves a community where 21.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits above the national average for primary schools and suggests a higher-than-average level of socioeconomic need among its intake.

Of those applications, 30 were first-preference offers, and all 30 first-preference families were offered a place, indicating that while the school is popular, it is still accessible to local families who prioritise it.
