About St Katharine's CofE Primary School

St Katharine's CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Wiltshire that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 47 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 13. Of those applications, 11 were first-preference choices, and 11 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family who put it first got a place, but the overall demand was more than three times the available spots. This level of interest suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey or recommend percentage. With just 95 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, there is a little headroom, but the oversubscription figures show that getting in as a first choice is realistic, while late applicants face stiff competition.
