About Catmose Primary

Catmose Primary is a state-funded mixed primary school in Rutland for children aged 4 to 11, and it is a school in clear demand. With 206 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, it is essentially full. The oversubscription picture is striking: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 61 applications for just 30 places, with exactly 30 first-preference applications and 30 offers made. That works out at just over two applicants for every place, a strong signal of local popularity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 8. 7%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Stuart Williams. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in January 2023, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2013.
