About English Martyrs Catholic Primary School

English Martyrs Catholic Primary School in Rugby is a state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a Roman Catholic character and a current roll of 190 pupils against a capacity of 210. That leaves some physical headroom, but demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 38 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4. 22 to one. Only 8 first-preference offers were made, so securing a place is competitive. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12. 1 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively less deprived intake than many schools nationally. The school is led by headteacher Rebekah Jones and was inspected by Ofsted in June 2025, receiving a Good rating across all graded categories including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
