Slater Primary School
About Slater Primary School
Slater Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit below the Leicester local authority average, with 52% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 62%. That places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in Leicester, ranked 50th out of 82. The gap is most noticeable in writing, where only 56% met the expected standard, and in the combined higher-standard measure, where just 12% achieved the top tier. On the positive side, reading and maths average scores both hit 104, which is in line with the national average of 104 for each subject. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024 rated overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2018. The inspection found that while personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and early years provision remain Good, the quality of education and leadership and management both require improvement.
