The Colleton Primary School
About The Colleton Primary School
The Colleton Primary School in Wokingham is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is noticeably undersubscribed relative to its physical capacity. With 268 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 420, there is significant room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10. 1%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. However, demand for places is high: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 84 total applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2. 8 to one. Of those, 34 were first-preference applications, and 28 first-preference offers were made, indicating that while the school is popular, it is not quite meeting all first-choice demand. The school has a nursery provision, which feeds into the main school, and its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', making it a non-faith option in a borough with several church-affiliated primaries.
