About Measham Church of England Primary School

Measham Church of England Primary School received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in September 2024, a step down from the Good rating it held in its previous inspection in 2015. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: only 36% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That is well below the Leicestershire local authority average of 62% for primary schools. The school’s ranking within the local authority reflects this, placing 39th out of 41 schools in North West Leicestershire, putting it in the bottom 5% of its immediate area. Nationally, it sits in the bottom 6% of all primary schools on this measure. However, the picture is not uniformly weak. The school’s early years provision was rated Good, and behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all held at Good in the most recent inspection.
