About Welford and Wickham C.E. Primary School
Welford and Wickham C. E. Primary School is a small Church of England primary in West Berkshire that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 18 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 57. All 7 first-preference families were offered a spot, but with more than two and a half applicants for every place, it is a competitive choice. The school has a total capacity of 105 pupils but currently has just 62 on roll, so while demand is high for Reception places, the school is not yet full across all year groups. The headteacher is Joanna Lagares, and the school serves children aged 5 to 11. It is a mixed, state-funded primary with a religious character, and 17. 7 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools.
