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.
