About Mountfields Lodge School

Mountfields Lodge School is a popular choice among local families, with 186 applications for just 50 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.72. Of those, 46 families put it as their first preference, and 46 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who wanted it most got a place. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, located in Charnwood, Leicestershire, and led by headteacher Iona Mock. It currently has 487 pupils on roll against a capacity of 511, so it is running close to full. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since its previous graded inspection in 2012. The school does not have a religious character, and just over 10% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national average.
