About Wigmore Primary

Wigmore Primary in Luton is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, currently home to 609 pupils against a capacity of 630. That leaves very little slack, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 145 applications for 90 places, making it officially oversubscribed with a ratio of 1. 61 applicants per spot. Of those, 61 were first-preference offers, suggesting strong local confidence. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 20%, which is worth noting against the national primary average of around 23% — so the school serves a slightly less disadvantaged cohort than the national picture, though still a significant minority. The headteacher is Damien Johnston, and the school has no religious character. It does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, focusing entirely on the primary years.
