About St Nicholas Church of England Primary School

St Nicholas Church of England Primary School is a primary school in Oakham, Rutland, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 134 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 71% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 10.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 15% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 18% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Nicholas Church of England Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 13 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 3.4%. There are about 18.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. St Nicholas Church of England Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
