About Wavell Community Primary School

Just over a quarter of families who applied for a place at Wavell Community Primary School for the 2025/26 intake were successful, with 26 first-preference offers made from 45 total applications. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.73, meaning the school is genuinely popular among local parents. The school’s parentView data isn’t available in this snapshot, but the demand alone tells you something about its reputation. Headteacher Gillian Crouch leads a mixed, state primary in North Yorkshire for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school has capacity for 300 pupils and currently enrols 231, so there’s some breathing room in the numbers, though clearly not enough to satisfy all applicants. Sixteen per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools and suggests a reasonably mixed catchment.
