Langmoor Primary School Oadby

Langmoor Primary School is judged to be strong overall, with attendance and behaviour a particular strength. Pupils attend well over time, behave extremely well and benefit from a nurturing, inclusive culture where they feel safe, respected and known by staff. Safeguarding standards are met. The school is part of the OWLS Academy Trust, which has provided effective support, and leaders have successfully improved the curriculum since the previous inspection. Most other areas are at the expected standard. Pupils typically achieve well, with published outcomes at the end of key stage 2 close to or above national averages, including for disadvantaged pupils. Reading is taught well, the early years provide a secure and calm start, and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are generally well supported. Personal development is also a strength, with a broad programme, clubs and emotional support helping pupils to thrive. However, there are clear next steps. Pupils in key stage 2 do not always have rapid and accurate recall of multiplication facts, and writing remains inconsistent, with some pupils not improving their spelling or handwriting as quickly as they could. Leaders also need to check the impact of additional interventions more carefully and ensure a consistent approach to writing and oracy across subjects and year groups. Overall, the school is performing well but has identified areas to secure greater consistency.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.

Academy figures include a share of the trust's central services, shared out by pupil numbers, and are rounded to the nearest £1,000. Premises costs were defined differently from 2024, so compare them across that gap with care.
