Warwick Academy
About Warwick Academy
Warwick Academy is a state primary in North Northamptonshire that currently educates 294 pupils against a school capacity of 420, meaning it has significant room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 40. 1%, which is notably high and suggests the school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage compared with the national primary average. Despite this, demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 36 applications for 19 places, with all 19 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1. 89 indicates a school that local families actively want, even though it is not yet full to capacity. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and takes children from age 2 to 11, though it does not operate a nursery. Catherine Starnes is the headteacher.
