About Manorfield Church of England Primary School

Manorfield Church of England Primary School in Blaby is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it’s a school that local families clearly want to get into. With 403 pupils on roll against a capacity of 413, it’s running very close to full, and the oversubscription picture tells the same story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school had 95 total applications for 59 places, with 66 of those coming as first preferences — meaning only 59 first-preference families could be accommodated. That’s an oversubscription ratio of 1.61, a strong signal of demand in the Leicestershire area. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 13.2%, which is below the national primary average of around 23%, suggesting a relatively less deprived intake compared with the wider population. The school has a Church of England religious character, and the headteacher is Ellen Thompson.
