Ashby-de-la-Zouch Church of England Primary School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 18 families put Ashby-de-la-Zouch Church of England Primary School as their first choice and 101 named it as one of their preferences, for 25 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 31 in 2021 to 18 in 2026, while places went from 31 to 25.
Across Leicestershire, 94% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Leicestershire lodged 229 appeals against primary school offers; 126 reached a hearing and 5 succeeded (4% of those heard).
