About Weston Park Primary School

Weston Park Primary School in Southampton is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, and its intake data tells a clear story about local demand. The school has capacity for 750 pupils but currently enrols 518, meaning it is running at just under 70% full. That spare capacity is notable given the level of interest from families: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 72 applications for 44 places, with 43 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at 1.64 applications per place, a healthy oversubscription ratio that signals strong local preference. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 58.7%, which is significantly higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The headteacher is James Wiltshire, and the school has no religious character, nursery provision, or sixth form.
