About Sir John Moore Church of England Primary School

Sir John Moore Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, which took place in 2020 and was confirmed by an ungraded visit in 2025. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year. Just 53% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is notably below the Leicestershire local authority average of 62%. This places the school 159th out of 231 primary schools in the county, and in the bottom half of schools nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading is a clear strength: 82% of pupils reached the expected standard and 53% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 108. Maths and writing were weaker, with 59% reaching the expected standard in each, and only 18% hitting the higher standard in maths.
