About Wellesley Primary School

Wellesley Primary School in South Gloucestershire is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 5 to 11, and it is a school in demand. With 206 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, it is essentially full. The oversubscription picture is clear: for 2025/26 entry, the school offered its 30 places to first-preference applicants, but received 74 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.47. That means nearly two and a half families applied for every place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 9.3%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. The school does not have a religious character and is led by headteacher Heather Small. It is a community school that serves its local area, and the strong application numbers indicate it is a popular choice among local families.
