About Thorpe Acre Junior School

Thorpe Acre Junior School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 52%. This is below the Leicestershire local authority average of 62%, and places the school 38th out of 45 schools in the Charnwood borough. Nationally, it ranks in the bottom half of primary schools on this measure. However, the school’s individual subject results tell a more nuanced story: 70% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and the average maths score was 106, a solid outcome. Reading and writing expected standards were 66% and 60% respectively, while the proportion achieving the higher standard in any subject was notably lower, with maths at 38%, reading at 26% and writing at just 10%.
