# Schools in Rutland 20 schools with published admissions figures "1st preferences per place" is how many families named a school first, for each place it offered, in the newest year held. It describes demand. It is not a pass rate and it does not say whether a child would be offered a place. A dash means the figure is not held. ## How the 2026 round went Counts families, not schools. The table below cannot be added up into these figures, because a child naming three schools appears in three of its rows. ### Primary For September 2026, 94.5% of families applying for a primary place here were offered their first choice, and 100.0% were offered one of the three schools they named. That is 2.3 points higher than in 2016, when it was 92.2%. The council's primary schools between them had 457 places for 271 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it. ### Secondary For September 2026, 93.0% of families applying for a secondary place here were offered their first choice, and 99.1% were offered one of the three schools they named. That is 3.7 points higher than in 2016, when it was 89.3%. The council's secondary schools between them had 600 places for 331 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it. ## If a family is refused a place In 2026, families in Rutland lodged 2 appeals about a school place. None of them reached a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first. This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.

The share that succeeded is taken over appeals heard by a panel, not over appeals lodged. ## Schools here running specialist SEN provision 2 of this council's published schools run a SEN unit or a resourced provision: teaching for children with special educational needs, on the same site as the rest of the school. | School | Phase | What it runs | |---|---|---| | [Oakham CofE Primary School, Oakham](/school/148948/oakham-cofe-primary-school) | primary | SEN unit | | [Uppingham Community College, Uppingham](/school/136629/uppingham-community-college) | secondary | Resourced provision | This says a provision exists and nothing more. Neither how many children it takes nor which kinds of need it is set up for is published for a mainstream school, and it is not a statement about how well any school supports children with SEN. Ask the school or the council.
