About St Wulstan's and St Edmund's Catholic Academy

St Wulstan's and St Edmund's Catholic Academy in Wyre is a primary school that serves a notably diverse intake relative to its local area. With 207 pupils on roll against a capacity of 246, the school has some room to grow, but the demand is clearly there: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 60 applications for just 21 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.86, and all first-preference applicants were offered a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 40.6%, which is significantly higher than the national average and suggests the school plays an important role in a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. As a Roman Catholic primary, it serves a mixed-gender cohort from ages 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. The headteacher is Samantha Solloway.
