Rushall Church of England Primary School
About Rushall Church of England Primary School
Rushall Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in Wiltshire, currently teaching 75 pupils against a capacity of 150, so there is plenty of physical space for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20%, which is above the national average for primary schools and suggests a more diverse intake than some of its local peers. Despite the spare capacity, the school was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 admissions round, receiving 16 applications for 11 places, with 10 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 1. 45 indicates genuine local demand, even though the school doesn't fill its full capacity. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, and the headteacher is Lucy Turner. The school does not offer nursery provision, so children join at age three in Reception.
