About St Werburgh's Primary School

Parents considering St Werburgh's Primary School will be encouraged by the strong vote of confidence from local families. The school is significantly oversubscribed, receiving 142 applications for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.37. Of those applicants, 66 put the school as their first preference, and 58 first-preference offers were made. This level of demand suggests a school that local parents actively want their children to attend. While the school does not have a published Parent View recommendation percentage, the sheer volume of applications — more than double the places available — is a practical signal of its reputation in the community. The school is at full capacity with 392 pupils, and 34.7 per cent of children are eligible for free school meals, reflecting a genuinely mixed intake. Helen Faulkner is the headteacher, and the school has no religious character.
