Brownsover Community School
About Brownsover Community School
Brownsover Community School is a smaller-than-average primary in Rugby, Warwickshire, with 119 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. That’s just over half full, which is unusual for a school that is heavily oversubscribed at intake. For the 2025/26 reception year, the school offered 30 places and received 123 applications in total, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4. 1. Of those, 36 families put it as their first preference, and 29 of them were offered a place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26. 1%, well above the national primary average of around 23%, suggesting the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school is non-denominational, with no religious character, and is led by Executive Headteacher Jenny Tegerdine. It also offers nursery provision for children from age three, which will appeal to local families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
