About East Wittering Community Primary School

Parents considering East Wittering Community Primary School will find a school that is clearly popular locally. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 55 applications for 34 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.62. Of those, 31 families put it as their first preference, and all 31 received an offer. That level of demand suggests a solid reputation among local families, even though the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 5 to 11, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Justine Brooks. It currently has 267 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, so there is some headroom, but the oversubscription figures show that securing a place is not guaranteed for everyone who applies.
