About Wilburton CofE Primary School

Wilburton CofE Primary School is a Church of England primary in East Cambridgeshire that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 34 applications for just 19 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 79, meaning nearly two families applied for every spot. Of those 34 applicants, 19 put Wilburton as their first preference, and 17 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in the area. The school is relatively small, with 108 pupils against a capacity of 140, so there is some room to grow, but competition for places is real. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — maintaining the same overall Good rating it held in its previous inspection in 2014.
