About East Wickham Primary Academy

If you’re looking for a school where most parents would send their child again, East Wickham Primary Academy scores well on that front. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, 87% of the 30 parents who responded said they would recommend the school. That’s a strong signal, though it’s worth noting the sample size is small. The school is also clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 intake, it was oversubscribed, with 139 applications for 65 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.14. Of those, 64 first-preference families received offers. Parents responding to the survey were particularly positive about clubs and activities, with 67% strongly agreeing their child can take part, and about happiness and safety, with 57% strongly agreeing on both counts. However, views on SEND support were more divided: only 30% strongly agreed that children with special educational needs get the support they need, while 20% strongly disagreed.
