Boughton Leigh Junior School
About Boughton Leigh Junior School
Boughton Leigh Junior School in Rugby is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, currently running at 456 pupils against a school capacity of 480. That leaves very little slack, suggesting the school is well used by local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 27. 9%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools in England, typically around 23-24%. This indicates the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Despite this, the school is clearly in demand; the admissions data shows it is oversubscribed, a strong signal that local families are actively choosing it. The school is non-denominational and mixed, so it draws from a broad cross-section of the local population in Rugby, Warwickshire.
