Why Move to Melton Mowbray
The “Rural Capital of Food” Melton Mowbray is a market town in Leicestershire. The town sits on the River Eye and the River Wreake and has a population of approximately 25,554
The town is particularly famous for its culinary speciality, the Melton Mowbray pork pie. It is also the home of one of the six licensed makers of Stilton cheese.
Melton Mowbray has been a market town for over 1,000 years. Recorded as Leicestershire’s only market in the 1086 Domesday Survey, it is the third oldest market in England. The historic cattle market still runs every Tuesday but now includes stalls selling a variety of produce, antiques, fashion, and jewellery.
Rustic surroundings offer a relaxed and quiet atmosphere to live and work in, while nearby cities such as Leicester 19 miles away, Nottingham 20 miles away and Peterborough which is 35 miles away are easily accessible by road and rail.
The town enjoys a healthy economy where manufacturing makes up 21.7% of all employment in the district. Other key areas of employment are within the food services and related businesses, agriculture, forestry and fishing, arts, entertainment, and recreation.
If it is somewhere in the county of Leicestershire you are considering a move to, then Melton Mowbray is worthy of being on your “short list” of possibilities.
Schools & Education
Relocating with children does add another dimension to your moving plans.
Finding appropriate schools is always a concern, so making sure you move to a neighbourhood that incorporates schools with good reputations will be a major consideration.
Melton Mowbray has a range of schools for all ages as well as several special needs schools.
Saint Francis Catholic Primary, Brownlow Primary School and Asfordby Hill Primary School are all “good” says Ofsted.
Catmose College, a secondary academy school is the first choice for many parents. In recent years, the school has been so popular that it has been oversubscribed with more applicants for places than are available in each year group. Ofsted rated the school as “outstanding”
Unfortunately, there are no private schools actually in Melton Mowbray.
The closest independent is in the small town of Oakham, 11 miles away.
An unusually large independent, Oakham School has around 1000 students aged between 10 – 18 years.
