About St Leonard's CofE (A) Primary School

St Leonard's CofE (A) Primary School sits within Staffordshire local authority, a small Church of England primary in Lichfield with 126 pupils on roll. Among the 308 primary schools in the same LA, it ranks 192nd, placing it in the middle of the pack. For context, the top-performing peers in the area — St John's Catholic Primary School, Woodseaves CE Primary Academy, and Needwood CofE Primary School — all achieved perfect ranking scores of 100, setting a high benchmark. St Leonard's itself holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, with 42 applications for 15 places and 17 first-preference applications, suggesting solid local demand. Its nursery provision and mixed-gender intake from age 3 to 11 make it a typical village primary, though its small size — operating above its 120-capacity — gives it an intimate feel.
