About Wheatcroft Community Primary School

Wheatcroft Community Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 112 applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 73. Of those applicants, 41 put the school as their first preference, and all 30 places went to first-preference families. While the school does not publish a parent satisfaction survey, the high demand suggests a strong reputation in the community. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, located in the North Yorkshire local authority. It is non-religious, with no nursery or sixth form provision. The headteacher is G Dyer, and the school currently has 205 pupils on roll, just below its capacity of 210. Just over a quarter of pupils (28. 3%) are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and reflects the school's inclusive intake.
