About Edith Weston Academy

Edith Weston Academy is a small primary school in Rutland that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 21 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3 to 1. All 7 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that while competition is real, being a first-choice pick is a strong strategy. The school is led by headteacher Ellie Kapler and currently has 67 pupils on roll against a capacity of 189, so there is plenty of room to grow. It offers nursery provision for children from age 2, making it a natural choice for families looking for a single setting from early years right through to Year 6. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in January 2023, confirmed that it remains Good, and its previous graded inspection in November 2017 also rated it Good overall, with Good marks for early years provision, leadership and management, and quality of education.
