About The Manor CofE VC Primary School

The Manor CofE VC Primary School in Wiltshire is a small state primary with 133 pupils against a capacity of 336, meaning it is running at just under 40% full. That spare capacity is notable given the school’s intake profile: 50. 4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a strong indicator of the community it serves. Despite the low occupancy, the school is oversubscribed for Reception places in the 2025/26 academic year, with 21 applications for 10 places and all 10 first-preference offers taken up. That 2. 1 oversubscription ratio suggests strong local demand from families who know the school well, even if its overall roll is small. The school has no religious character, so admissions are not tied to church attendance, and the headteacher is Michael Park.
