About St Peter's Church of England Primary School (Market Bosworth)
St Peter's Church of England Primary School in Market Bosworth is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 221 children against a capacity of 252. That leaves some physical headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 76 applications for just 28 places, with 27 of those going to first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio sits at 2.71, meaning nearly three families compete for every spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 13.1%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent local catchment. As a Church of England school under headteacher Emily Holt, it serves the Hinckley and Bosworth borough within Leicestershire, and its religious character may appeal to families seeking a faith-based setting without the fees of the independent sector.
