About St Peter's Church of England Primary School Whetstone

St Peter's Church of England Primary School Whetstone is a state primary in Blaby, Leicestershire, with a current roll of 190 pupils against a capacity of 266, meaning there is room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.6%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Demand for places is extremely high: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 89 applications for just 22 places, with 21 of those coming as first preferences. This oversubscription ratio of 4.05 to one makes it one of the more competitive primaries in the area, and the fact that all first-preference families were offered a place indicates strong local reputation and careful admission management.
