About Ratby Primary School

Ratby Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 91 applications for just 40 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.28. All 40 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is a realistic option. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high demand alone signals a strong reputation in the Hinckley and Bosworth area. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 370 pupils against a capacity of 420. It has no religious character and no nursery or sixth-form provision, so it's squarely focused on the primary years. Headteacher Anne Perry leads a school where 21.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, reflecting a broadly representative intake.
