About Hatch Ride Primary School

Hatch Ride Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 62 applications for just 23 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.7. That means nearly three families applied for every available spot, and of those, 18 were first-preference applications, all of which received offers. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in Wokingham. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 210 pupils, exactly matching its capacity. It has a very low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at just 3.3%, which is well below the national average. While there is no formal parent-view data available, the high application numbers and full capacity are clear signals that the school is well-regarded by the community it serves.
