Ketton Church of England Primary School
About Ketton Church of England Primary School
Ketton Church of England Primary School is a state primary in Rutland that is currently educating more pupils than its official capacity suggests — 187 children on roll against a capacity of 175, which points to genuine local demand. That demand is backed up by the numbers: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 51 applications for 24 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 13, and all 24 first-preference families were offered a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 5. 9%, which is notably low compared with the national average of around 23%, reflecting the relatively affluent catchment. The school is Church of England in character and is led by headteacher Hazel Glassford. It operates as a mixed, non-selective primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
