Measham 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, 11 families put Measham Church of England Primary School as their first choice and 29 named it as one of their preferences, for 11 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 20 in 2021 to 11 in 2026, while places went from 21 to 11.
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).
