About St Charles Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy

St Charles Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy is a small state primary in North West Leicestershire, serving 116 pupils aged 4 to 11. It sits within the Leicestershire local authority, where it ranks 23rd out of 41 primary schools in its immediate area and 135th out of 231 primaries across the wider county. The school’s closest top-performing peer is Swithland St Leonard’s Church of England Primary School, followed by Long Whatton Church of England Primary School and Brocks Hill Primary School. For families looking at the very highest-rated local options, the nearest school with an Outstanding Ofsted rating is Ashby Hill Top Primary School, about 4.7 km away. St Charles is a Roman Catholic voluntary academy, led by headteacher Felicity Knight, and it is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 32 applications for just 16 places, with all 16 first-preference families offered a spot. That demand suggests a strong local reputation, even if the school’s overall ranking places it in the bottom half of primaries nationally.
