About Whaplode Church of England Primary School

Whaplode Church of England Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 19 first-preference applications for just 22 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.23. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, a clear signal of its standing in the South Holland area. Parent satisfaction appears strong, though specific parent-view survey data isn't available in this dataset. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a Church of England character, and is led by headteacher Abbie Muir. It currently has 194 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, so there is a little breathing room, but the oversubscription figures suggest that securing a place is competitive, particularly for those naming it as their first choice.
