About Little Hill Primary

Little Hill Primary sits in the Oadby and Wigston area of Leicestershire, and its headline Key Stage 2 results paint a mixed picture compared with the local authority average. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 53%, which is notably below the LA average of 62%. That nine-point gap is significant and places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 12th out of 13 in its immediate borough. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 69% of pupils met the expected standard, and in writing that figure rose to 75%, both respectable scores. Maths is where the dip is sharpest, with only 59% reaching the expected level. The school’s average scaled scores — 104 in reading and 102 in maths — are broadly in line with national norms, suggesting that while fewer pupils are hitting the combined benchmark, those who do are performing solidly.
