About Saint Clare's Primary School A Catholic Voluntary Academy, Coalville, Leicestershire

Saint Clare's Primary School in Coalville sits below the local authority average for its key stage 2 outcomes, a fact that will matter to parents weighing academic performance. In the 2023/24 results, 46% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Leicestershire primary average of 62%. That gap is significant, and it places the school 182nd out of 231 primary schools in the authority. The school’s ranking within North West Leicestershire is 35th out of 41, putting it in the bottom half locally. Yet these headline figures don’t tell the whole story. The school is oversubscribed by a factor of 3.5, with 56 applications for just 16 places in 2025/26, and all 16 first-preference families were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests something beyond raw test scores is drawing families in.
