About Boughton Leigh Infant School

Boughton Leigh Infant School in Rugby is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7, currently operating close to full capacity with 282 pupils against a school capacity of 294. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22 per cent, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools in England, suggesting the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 100 applications for 64 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1. 56, and made 48 offers to first-preference applicants. This level of competition indicates that the school is a popular choice among local families, despite not being the nearest Outstanding-rated option — that distinction belongs to Riverside Academy, 2. 1 km away. The school is non-denominational and has a nursery provision, making it a practical option for families seeking an infant school with early years support.
