Whitwick St John The Baptist Church of England Primary School
About Whitwick St John The Baptist Church of England Primary School
Whitwick St John The Baptist Church of England Primary School sits slightly above the Leicestershire local authority average for its key stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The school recorded 63% of pupils reaching that benchmark, compared with the LA average of 62% for primary schools. That marginal edge is reflected in its national ranking, where it sits almost exactly at the median — 49.6th percentile — and in the East Midlands region it falls just inside the top half. Within North West Leicestershire, the school ranks 15th out of 41 primary schools, placing it in the top 40% locally. It is worth noting that the school has improved significantly since its previous Ofsted inspection in 2012, when it was rated Requires Improvement. In its most recent graded inspection in 2014, it achieved a Good rating, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. Leadership and management were also judged Good in that 2014 inspection.
