About St Nicolas CofE Academy

St Nicolas CofE Academy is a Church of England primary in Nuneaton and Bedworth that is comfortably oversubscribed, a clear signal of its standing among local families. With 425 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is effectively full. The demand is striking: for 60 places in the 2025/26 intake, the school received 233 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 88. Of those, 90 were first-preference applications, and 56 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12. 9%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools in the Warwickshire local authority. The school is mixed, non-selective, and takes children from age 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2024, rated the school Good overall, with an Outstanding rating for early years provision — a notable strength that may appeal to parents of younger children.
