About Wilbury Junior School

Wilbury Junior School is a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11 in North Hertfordshire, and its intake data tells a story of a school serving a community with significant need. With 241 pupils on roll against a capacity of 351, the school is operating at just over two-thirds full, which leaves room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 35.7%, a figure notably higher than the national average for primary schools, suggesting that Wilbury draws from a catchment with above-average levels of disadvantage. Despite this, the school is clearly in demand; its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 upgraded it from Requires Improvement to Good, and the leadership team under headteacher Chelsea Atkins has been working to turn the school around. The religious character is listed as 'Does not apply', so the school is non-denominational and open to all local families.
