About South Wilford Endowed CofE Primary School

South Wilford Endowed CofE Primary School is a state-funded, mixed Church of England primary in Nottingham, currently home to 383 pupils against a capacity of 420. That leaves a modest buffer of 37 places, but the real story is in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 82 applications for 53 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.55 applicants per spot. Of those, 48 were first-preference offers, meaning almost every family who put it top of their list got in, but competition is real. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 14.7%, which is below the national primary average of around 23% and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools in the Nottingham local authority. Headteacher Natalie Aldridge leads a school that clearly holds strong local appeal, and the numbers back that up — it ranks third out of 72 primary schools in Nottingham, placing it in the top 5% of the authority.
