About Wheeler Primary School

Wheeler Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 113 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.88. Of those 113 applications, 60 were first-preference choices, and 59 first-preference offers were made. This level of demand suggests strong parent confidence, though it is worth noting that the school's capacity is listed at 319 pupils while it currently has 467 on roll, meaning it is significantly over its official capacity. The school has a nursery provision for children aged three and above, and it serves a mixed-gender cohort from age three up to eleven. With 26% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school draws from a community with above-average economic need.
