About St Edward's Church of England Primary School

St Edward’s Church of England Primary School in North West Leicestershire holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and confirmed in an ungraded visit in October 2022. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 61% — just a fraction below the local authority average of 62%. That places the school 17th out of 41 primary schools in the North West Leicestershire area, and in the bottom half nationally. The school’s ranking score of 61 puts it 111th out of 231 primary schools across the wider Leicestershire authority. While not among the top performers locally, the school has clearly moved on from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2008, with leadership and management now judged Good and early years provision also rated Good.
