About Wilbraham Primary School

Wilbraham Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 150 applications for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.54 — meaning more than two and a half families applied for every available spot. All 59 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, it’s a realistic option. The school is a large state primary in Manchester, with 626 pupils on roll against a capacity of 720, so there is some headroom. It has nursery provision for children from age three, and the headteacher is Andrew Marchant. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in September 2022, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in 2013.
