About Mowmacre Hill Primary School

Mowmacre Hill Primary School in Leicester has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent inspection in May 2025, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2017. The school's leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all now carry a Good label. However, the most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: just 47% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the Leicester local authority average of 62%, and it places the school 58th out of 68 primary schools in the city. Nationally, Mowmacre Hill ranks in the bottom 50% of schools for this measure, sitting at the 84th percentile. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects — 65% hit the expected standard in writing, but only 57% in reading and 58% in maths. Just 13% of pupils achieved a higher standard in maths, and only 5% did so in reading.
