Marriott Primary School: heavily oversubscribed at 110% capacity

Marriott Primary School has a published admission number of 397 places. 435 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 110%. At 110% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Leicester allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 48.5% of pupils at Marriott Primary School are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Leicester.
