Arley Primary Academy
About Arley Primary Academy
Arley Primary Academy is a state primary school in North Warwickshire that currently educates 213 pupils, well below its official capacity of 315. This leaves a fair amount of physical room for growth, but the school is already feeling demand pressure. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 44 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.52. All 29 first-preference families were offered a spot, which suggests the school is popular but not yet impossibly competitive. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 41.2% of children are eligible for free school meals, a figure significantly above the national average and likely well above the Warwickshire average, marking Arley as a school serving a community with higher-than-typical levels of economic need. The school is mixed, non-religious, and has no sixth form, but it does offer nursery provision for children from age three.
