Ryhall CofE Academy
About Ryhall CofE Academy
Ryhall CofE Academy is a popular choice among local families, with 26 first-preference applications for its 26 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, meaning every family who put it first got a spot. Overall, the school received 35 applications for those 26 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.35. That level of demand suggests parents in Rutland see it as a solid option for their children from age 4 to 11. The school is a Church of England primary with a mixed intake, and headteacher Alan Reed leads a relatively small community of 191 pupils, well within its capacity of 210. With 14.7 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a broadly representative catchment. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in February 2023, confirmed it 'remains Good', a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2017.
