About Southwick Church of England Primary School
Southwick Church of England Primary School is a state primary in Wiltshire that currently educates 179 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it operates with some spare places. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 17.9%, which is above the national average for primary schools and suggests a slightly more diverse socioeconomic intake than many of its local peers. Demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 39 applications for 29 places, making it officially oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.34 applicants per place. All 29 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, indicating that while competition exists, families ranking it first are very likely to secure a place. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, though the data does not specify any faith-based admissions criteria. The school is mixed and covers the full primary age range from 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
