About Wicor Primary School

Wicor Primary School in Fareham is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11 that is running very close to full capacity, with 428 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 436. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.7 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent local intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 104 total applications for just 50 places, making it oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 2.08. All 50 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning that if you live in the catchment area and put Wicor first, your chances are good, but competition from outside that area is significant. The school has a non-religious character and is led by headteacher Mark Wildman.
