Christ the King is a much larger than average primary school situated on the outskirts of Leicester City. It is expected that pupil numbers will grow. Provision in the early years takes the form of a Reception class. Children enter at four years of age and attend full-time. The pupils are organised into 11 classes; seven single-age classes and four mixed-age classes. This is a denominational school and all pupils, including those from minority ethnic families, are Christian. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. Pupils from minority ethnic groups make up over half of the whole school roll. The largest group comes from an Indian background, but there are smaller numbers of pupils with Pakistani, Bangladeshi and other Asian heritages. About 40% of pupils speak English as an additional language. At 18%%, the proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is broadly average compared to that seen nationally. The proportion of pupils eligible for additional support through pupil premium funding is much lower average. Less than 10% of pupils in school are eligible for this additional government funding. It is provided for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those in local authority care. The school has a breakfast club which is the responsibility of the governing body. The headteacher is the Chairperson of the local Development Group of primary, secondary and special schools. He is a Local Leader of Education (LLE) and an Ofsted inspector.
