About Walbottle Village Primary School

Walbottle Village Primary School is clearly in high demand among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 36 applications for just 6 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 6:1. All six first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that putting the school top of your list gives you a strong chance of success. The school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, so there is no direct survey data on how many current families would endorse it. However, the sheer volume of applications relative to places available implies a solid local reputation. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, ages 3 to 11, led by headteacher Alison Oliver. It also offers nursery provision, which may appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6. With 150 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, there is room to grow, but the current oversubscription means that securing a place is competitive.
