About Sketchley Hill Primary School Burbage

Sketchley Hill Primary School Burbage sits comfortably above the Leicestershire local authority average for its key stage 2 outcomes, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 62%. That eleven-percentage-point gap places the school in the top quarter of primary schools nationally and 40th out of 231 in the county. Within the Hinckley and Bosworth borough, it ranks 7th out of 29 schools on the same metric. The school is also oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 86 first-preference applications were received for 86 places, with a total of 205 applications across all preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.38. That level of demand suggests local families see the school as a strong option, and the data backs that up — particularly when you consider that the school’s results are well above the typical primary in the area.
