About Race Leys Infant School

Race Leys Infant School serves children from age 4 to 7 in Nuneaton and Bedworth, and its headline metrics paint a mixed picture compared with the Warwickshire local authority average. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Requires Improvement overall, a drop from its previous Good rating in 2014. This places it below the LA’s typical standard, where 12 out of 196 primary schools hold an Outstanding grade. The nearest Outstanding alternative, The Canons C of E Primary School, is just 0.7 km away, so local families have a highly-rated option nearby. However, Race Leys does have bright spots: its Early Years Provision and Personal Development were both graded Good, suggesting that the youngest children and their broader wellbeing are well supported. The school is also significantly oversubscribed — for 48 places in 2025/26, it received 108 applications, a ratio of 2.25 to one, and all 48 first-preference families were offered a place. That level of demand indicates strong local confidence, even with the Requires Improvement rating.
