About Lower Farm Academy

Lower Farm Academy is a mixed state primary in Nuneaton and Bedworth, Warwickshire, currently educating 335 pupils against a capacity of 420. That leaves around a fifth of places unused, which is notable given the school’s popularity at admissions. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 161 applications for 60 places, with 66 families listing it as their first preference — only 59 of those were offered a spot. That works out at 2. 68 applications per place overall, a clear sign of local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 19. 2%, which is above the national primary average of around 23% but still significant enough to suggest a mixed catchment. The school also offers nursery provision for children aged two, so it’s a genuine all-through option from early years up to Year 6.
