About Corby Old Village Primary School

Corby Old Village Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is genuinely popular with local families. The school is effectively full, with 211 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. The demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 99 applications for just 29 places, and 28 of those went to first-preference families. That works out at more than three applicants for every spot. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage — 30. 3% of children are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average of around 23%. This suggests the school serves a broad cross-section of the community, not just one particular demographic. The school has no religious character and no nursery or sixth-form provision, so it is a straightforward primary option for families in and around Corby Old Village.
