About Leigh Church of England Academy

Leigh Church of England Academy is a primary school in Coventry that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 45 applications for just 25 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.8. All 24 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is popular, it is not impossibly competitive for those who list it first. The school has a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Lynn Lee. It currently has 219 pupils on roll against a capacity of 236, so there is a little breathing room. The most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated the school Good across every category, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This was a consistent improvement on the previous inspection in 2017, which had rated early years provision as Requires Improvement.
