About St John the Baptist CofE Primary School

St John the Baptist CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Leicester, one of 82 schools of its type in the local authority. It ranks 26th in the city, placing it comfortably in the top half of Leicester primaries and just outside the top 25. The three highest-ranked peers in the LA are Whitehall Primary School, St Thomas More Catholic Voluntary Academy, and Queensmead Primary Academy, all of which sit ahead on the local league table. The school is led by headteacher Trudie Colotto and has a capacity of 690, with 615 pupils currently on roll. Just over 15 per cent of children are eligible for free school meals, which is broadly in line with the national average for primary schools. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Catherine Infant School, about three kilometres away, but St John the Baptist holds its own Good rating from its most recent inspection in 2023.
