About Newlands Community Primary School

Newlands Community Primary School sits below the Leicestershire average for primary schools on its headline academic measure. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 62, but Newlands’ most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated the school as Requires Improvement across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. This is a school that has held a Requires Improvement rating since at least its previous inspection in 2019, when it also scored 3 (Requires Improvement) for overall effectiveness, early years provision, and leadership. With 29.7 per cent of its 300 pupils eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — the school serves a community with higher-than-typical disadvantage, which may partly explain the gap between its outcomes and the LA benchmark.
