About Outwoods Edge Primary School

Outwoods Edge Primary School in Charnwood is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has a capacity of 420 pupils and currently enrols 413, so it is running very close to full. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed: it received 143 applications for just 55 places, with 54 of those going to first-preference families. That works out at 2.6 applications per place, a strong signal of demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.5%, which is slightly below the national primary average of around 23%, suggesting the school draws from a relatively less deprived catchment. The headteacher is Matthew Peet, and the school has no religious character.
