About Whitehall Primary School

Whitehall Primary School sits at the very top of the Leicester primary school rankings, a position that becomes even more striking when you look at the local average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 91% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Leicester LA average of just 62%. That is a gap of nearly thirty percentage points, and it places the school first out of 68 primaries in the authority. Nationally, it ranks in the top 2% of all primary schools. The school is also heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 119 applications for 69 places, with all first-preference families offered a spot. That ratio of 1.72 applicants per place tells you local parents know what the data shows — this is a school that consistently outperforms its neighbours by a wide margin.
