About Saint Francis Catholic Primary School

Saint Francis Catholic Primary School sits within the Leicestershire local authority, where it ranks 7th out of 18 primary schools in the Melton borough. That places it comfortably in the top half of its immediate area, though it sits behind the three top-performing peers in the local authority: Swithland St Leonard's Church of England Primary School, Brocks Hill Primary School, and Long Whatton Church of England Primary School and Community Centre. As a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, the school serves a community of 205 pupils against a capacity of 315, meaning there is room to grow. The school is led by headteacher Gosia Brown and has a religious character that shapes its identity, though the data does not specify any formal faith-based admissions criteria. With 19.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school reflects a moderate level of disadvantage compared with the national average.
