About Kiwi Primary School

Kiwi Primary School is a mixed state primary in Wiltshire, currently home to 307 pupils against a capacity of 446, meaning there is significant room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 5.5%, well below the national average, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. Despite the spare capacity, the school is oversubscribed for 2025/26: 39 families applied for 23 places, with 22 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 1.7 to 1 signals strong local demand, even as the school works through a period of change. Headteacher Laura Eatherington leads a school that offers nursery provision and a broad range of facilities including a Forest School, library, sports hall, art studios, music rooms and a chapel, alongside clubs such as science, coding, art, book club and chess.
