About schools in Rutland
- How many schools are there in Rutland?
- Rutland has 26 open schools — 18 primary, 4 secondary, teaching 7,414 pupils in total.
- How many schools in Rutland are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 21 of the 21 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 100% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 2 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 26: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in Rutland?
- 6.5 out of 10, averaged across the 23 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
- Why do some Rutland schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 5 schools in Rutland currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
- What does Rutland local authority do?
- A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Rutland covers 26 schools and sits in the East Midlands region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
- How many pupils in Rutland are eligible for free school meals?
- 13.5% — 733 of 5,449 pupils at the 20 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
