Are there any Outstanding schools in Ibstock?

None of the 3 graded schools in Ibstock currently holds an Outstanding rating. 3 are rated Good, so 100% are Good or better. Ofsted stopped giving single-word overall grades in September 2024, so these are the grades from each school's last full inspection.

Are there grammar schools in Ibstock?

No. None of the state secondary schools in Ibstock selects pupils by ability, so every state secondary here is comprehensive.

Do schools in Ibstock have catchment areas?

Most state schools in Ibstock have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Leicestershire allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.

How do I apply for a school place in Ibstock?

Apply to Leicestershire through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts.
