About Wantage Primary Academy

Parents considering Wantage Primary Academy will find a school that is clearly in high demand. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 135 applications for just 56 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 41. Of those, 54 first-preference families were offered a spot, meaning the vast majority of successful applicants had it as their top choice. This level of competition is a strong signal of local reputation. While the school does not publish a parent-view survey percentage, the sheer volume of applications — more than double the places available — suggests a community that actively seeks this provision. The school is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is non-religious. It is led by headteacher Hannah Robinson and sits within the Vale of White Horse in Oxfordshire.
