Preshute Church of England Primary School
About Preshute Church of England Primary School
Preshute Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 29 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 64. Every one of those 11 places went to a first-preference applicant, which suggests that for those who get in, it is exactly what they were looking for. The school is a small, state-funded primary with 157 pupils on roll, well under its capacity of 210, so the oversubscription is not about sheer size but about demand for a specific kind of school. It has a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Claire Hann-Perkins. The most recent Ofsted inspection, in June 2024, rated the school Good overall, with Good marks across every category including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2015, but the current judgement still places it among the better schools in Wiltshire.
