About Packington Church of England Primary School

Packington Church of England Primary School stands out sharply against the Leicestershire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 62%, Packington achieves 73% — a solid eleven-point lead. That places the school in the top 25% nationally and fifth out of 41 primary schools in North West Leicestershire, putting it well above the typical state primary in the area. With only 88 pupils on roll and a capacity of 105, this is a small village school that punches above its weight academically, particularly given that just 4. 5% of its children qualify for free school meals, a figure well below the national average.
