School Atlas lists 82 state primary schools, 19 state secondary schools, 2 all-through schools, 8 special schools, 2 alternative provision schools and 4 post-16 schools and colleges in Leicester. It also lists 21 independent schools and 108 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 18 have a religious character: 8 Roman Catholic, 5 Church of England, 2 Hindu, 2 Muslim and 1 Sikh.
Of the 103 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Leicester, 60 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 5 Outstanding, 53 Good and 2 Requires improvement.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 14 of these schools have had one.
Catchment boundaries are published for schools in Leicester, but we don’t hold them yet. Distance usually decides a place.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 42 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
