St Hardulph's Church of England Primary School
About St Hardulph's Church of England Primary School
St Hardulph's Church of England Primary School is a small village school that clearly inspires strong local loyalty. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 11 applications for just 6 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.83, and all 6 first-preference families were offered a spot. That level of demand from local parents is a telling signal, even though the school doesn't publish a formal parent recommendation percentage. With just 50 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, the school is operating well below its maximum, which means children here benefit from genuinely small class sizes and a close-knit feel. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and its headteacher is Kelly Ellis. It sits in North West Leicestershire, part of the Leicestershire local authority, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains a Good school, a rating it has held consistently.
