About Leen Mills Primary School

Leen Mills Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 146 applications for just 44 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.32. Of those 146 applicants, 42 put the school as their first preference, and all 42 received an offer. That level of demand suggests a school that parents in the Ashfield area trust and want their children to attend. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character. It currently has 350 pupils on roll, well within its capacity of 420, so there is some room for growth. Headteacher K Goldson leads a school that has clearly turned a corner: in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall.
