About High Wycombe Church of England Combined School

High Wycombe Church of England Combined School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is currently full to the brim. With 210 pupils on roll and a school capacity of exactly 210, every place is taken. The demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 98 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.27. Of those, 34 families put it as their first preference, and 28 first-preference offers were made. The school serves a community where 17.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 23% but worth noting for context. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, though the data doesn't specify any particular admissions criteria beyond the usual oversubscription picture. Headteacher Celine Hawkins leads a school that clearly has a strong local reputation, given the level of competition for places.
