Westbury Leigh CofE Primary School
About Westbury Leigh CofE Primary School
Westbury Leigh CofE Primary School is a state-funded Church of England primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, located in the Wiltshire local authority. With 264 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is operating well below its physical limit, which is unusual for a primary in this area. However, the demand picture is more nuanced: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 47 applications for just 23 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.04. Of those, 20 were first-preference applications, and exactly 20 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 24.2%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with above-average socio-economic need. This combination of spare capacity overall but strong local demand for Reception places points to a school that is popular with nearby families but perhaps less well-known beyond its immediate catchment.
