Schools in Melton Mowbray
The principal market town of Leicestershire's Melton district, Melton Mowbray sits beside the River Eye where it made its name through the protected pork pie and a role in Stilton cheese production dating back centuries. Around 28,000 people call the town home.
Long Field is among the most sought-after pockets in the district for primary catchments, while Stathern draws families seeking village school places in the Vale of Belvoir to the north. Asfordby Hill and Scalford extend the school-active residential belt, with Wymondham offering quieter options further out. Trains from Melton Mowbray station connect to Leicester in around thirty minutes.
