About Rothley Church of England Primary School

Rothley Church of England Primary School is a primary school in Leicestershire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 541 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 12.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 20% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 16% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 74% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (120 first choices for 89 places). Overall pupil absence was 3.9%. There are about 24.5 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
