About Worthington School

Worthington School is a small state primary in North West Leicestershire that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 16 applications for just 4 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4:1. All four first-preference families were offered a spot, which suggests that while competition is real, putting the school first on your application is a sensible strategy. With just 57 pupils on roll against a capacity of 84, the school is operating well below its maximum, so the oversubscription is likely driven by the specific year group rather than the school being full across the board. The headteacher is Natasha Clark, and the school has no religious character, so it's a straightforward community option for local families. There is no nursery provision, meaning children join in Reception at age 5.
