Schools in Leicestershire
328 schools across 37 towns
Based on the most recent published single-word Ofsted grades. Ofsted stopped issuing overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) in September 2024, so schools inspected more recently — under Ofsted’s report cards — may not have one.

Leicestershire has 328 schools across 37 towns — 231 primary, 44 secondary, educating around 105,631 pupils. 85% of schools with a published Ofsted grade are rated Good or Outstanding (102 of 120).
