About St Bartholomew's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Wigginton

St Bartholomew's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School in Wigginton is a small village primary that is genuinely oversubscribed, and the numbers tell a clear story. With 107 pupils on roll against a capacity of 103, the school is effectively full. The demand is striking: for just 12 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 53 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.42. Of those, 11 were first-preference applications, and only 11 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 11.2%, which is below the national average for primary schools. The school is a Church of England voluntary aided school, and its religious character is likely a factor in admissions criteria, but the sheer volume of applications suggests its reputation extends beyond the immediate parish. This is a school where securing a place is competitive, and local families are clearly keen to get in.
