About Pitton Church of England Primary School

Pitton Church of England Primary School is a small village primary in Wiltshire, currently teaching 79 pupils against a capacity of 119, so there is room to grow. Its intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average, with just 7.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals compared to roughly 23% across England. The school is a Church of England state primary for mixed genders from ages 4 to 11, and it clearly has a strong local reputation: for the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 19 applications for just 7 places, with all 7 first-preference families offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 2.71 applicants per place signals genuine demand from local families, even though the school sits in the bottom half of Wiltshire primary schools on academic rankings. Headteacher Emma Wilkinson leads a setting that feels intimate by design, and the data suggests parents are keen to get in.
