About The Latimer Primary School

The Latimer Primary School in Charnwood is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 350 children against a capacity of 420. That leaves some physical headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 93 applications for just 42 places, with 39 of those going to first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio sits at 2.21, meaning more than two families compete for every spot. The pupil body is notably diverse in socioeconomic terms, with 24% of children eligible for free school meals — significantly above the national average of around 23% and well above the local Charnwood average, which tends to be lower. This suggests the school draws from a genuinely mixed catchment. Headteacher Claire Moran leads a school that, in its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024, was rated Good overall, with Outstanding marks for early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management.
