About Waverley Primary School

Parents considering Waverley Primary School will find a school that is clearly in demand locally. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 34 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.7. Crucially, every one of the 19 first-preference applicants was offered a place, suggesting that for families who put it first, the school is a realistic and achievable choice. This level of demand is a strong signal of parent satisfaction, though it is worth noting that no direct parent-view survey data is available in the school’s most recent records. The school is led by headteacher Wendy Leeming and serves 201 pupils, operating very close to its capacity of 210. It is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. The school has no religious character, making it a straightforward option for families who prefer a non-denominational setting.
