About Maltby Redwood Academy

Maltby Redwood Academy is a mixed state primary in Rotherham with a published capacity of 240 pupils, but currently has 200 on roll, leaving a notable 40 spare places. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20.1 per cent, which is above the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Despite this headroom in capacity, the school was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 41 applications for 21 places, with all 21 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.95 indicates strong local demand, even though the school is not yet full across all year groups. The school has a nursery provision, so families with younger children can join from age three. Its religious character is listed as ‘does not apply’, making it a fully non-denominational option in the area.
