About Kirby Muxloe Primary School

Kirby Muxloe Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary school in the Blaby borough of Leicestershire, serving children aged 4 to 11. It sits within a competitive local landscape; among the top-performing peers in the same local authority are Swithland St Leonard's Church of England Primary School, Brocks Hill Primary School, and Long Whatton Church of England Primary School and Community Centre. The school is currently oversubscribed, with 160 applications for 44 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 41 of those offers went to first-preference families. This level of demand suggests strong local reputation. Headteacher Elliot Howles leads a school that is larger than its capacity — 411 pupils against a stated capacity of 386 — and the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 8.5%, below the national average. The school has no religious character and does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form.
