St Matthew's Bloxam CofE Primary School
About St Matthew's Bloxam CofE Primary School
St Matthew's Bloxam CofE Primary School is a Church of England primary in Rugby that runs very close to capacity, with 206 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 210. That near-full roll is no surprise given the demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 55 applications for just 16 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3. 44 to one. Of those 55 applicants, only 14 were offered a place as a first preference, which suggests that while the school is popular, many families who put it first were still unsuccessful. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 25. 2%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a relatively disadvantaged catchment. This is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 4 to 11, and it also offers nursery provision, so families with younger siblings may find continuity appealing.
