Rokeby Primary School
About Rokeby Primary School
Rokeby Primary School in Rugby is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 223 pupils against a capacity of 240, meaning it operates at just under 93% occupancy. The school serves a community with significant socioeconomic need: 48.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and a clear indicator of the challenges the school navigates. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 45 applications for just 18 places, with 16 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.5. That level of competition suggests Rokeby is a popular choice locally, despite not being the highest-ranked school in Warwickshire. The school does not have a religious character and offers nursery provision, which will appeal to families looking for an all-through primary experience from age three.
