About Rugby Free Primary School

Rugby Free Primary School sits comfortably above the Warwickshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 70% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 62%. That eight-percentage-point gap places the school in the top quarter of primary schools in the Rugby district, ranked 7th out of 28. It also ranks 50th out of 196 primary schools across the wider Warwickshire authority, putting it in the top 26% of all state primaries in the county. Nationally, it sits around the 31st percentile, which is a solid mid-table performance for a school that is not selective and serves a broadly typical intake. The school’s Ofsted rating of Good was confirmed in an ungraded inspection in September 2023, with inspectors noting that the school remains Good across all areas including leadership, early years provision and overall effectiveness.
