About Hilperton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Hilperton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School is a small village primary in Wiltshire, currently teaching 133 pupils against a capacity of 180, meaning it has room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15. 8%, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools. The school is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 42 applications for just 18 places, with all 18 first-preference applicants being offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 2. 33 to one signals strong demand, particularly given the school’s Church of England character and its location in a rural village setting. The headteacher is Anna Edmund, and the school serves children from age 4 to 11.
