About Wembdon St George's Church School

Wembdon St George's Church School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 66 applications for just 35 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.89. Of those 66 applicants, 31 put the school down as their first preference, and all 31 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests parents in Somerset see something they like here. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with headteacher Clare Wallace at the helm. It has capacity for 420 pupils but currently enrols 309, so there is some room to grow. Around 16.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is a useful benchmark for the school's intake. The most recent Ofsted inspection, in January 2022, rated the school Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That is a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2017, when it was rated Inadequate overall.
