Wellington Place Primary School
About Wellington Place Primary School
Wellington Place Primary School is a small state primary in Harborough that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 84 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3 to 1. Among those applications, 36 were first-preference choices, and all 28 offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though no parent-view survey data is available in this profile to confirm satisfaction rates directly. The school is led by headteacher Cressida Knox and has no religious character. With a current roll of just 17 pupils against a capacity of 210, it is operating well below capacity, which may reflect its small intake year groups rather than any lack of appeal — the oversubscription figures tell a different story.
