About Christ Church Church of England Controlled Primary School
Christ Church Church of England Controlled Primary School in Wiltshire is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is running very close to capacity. With 418 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 420, places are effectively full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 5.3%, which is notably low compared with the national average of around 23% and suggests a relatively affluent intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 102 applications for 60 places, making it oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 1.7. Of those applicants, 64 put Christ Church as their first preference, and all 60 places went to first-preference families. This level of competition indicates a school that is well regarded locally and that parents are keen to secure a spot at.
