Wildmoor Heath School

About Wildmoor Heath School

Wildmoor Heath School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 69 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.3. Of those, 37 families put it as their first preference, and 25 of those were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 205 pupils against a capacity of 210, so it is running very close to full. Just 7.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average. The headteacher is Clare Vincent, and the school has no religious character. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent view score for this school, the oversubscription figures speak for themselves: this is a school that local parents are actively seeking out.

Academically, Wildmoor Heath performs well above the local authority average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 73% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Bracknell Forest average of 63%. That places the school 4th out of 23 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 25% nationally. Pupils also achieved strong average scores of 107 in both reading and maths. At the higher standard, 42% of pupils achieved that level in reading and maths, though writing was lower at 15%. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, with Good for leadership and management, quality of education, and early years provision. This is a significant improvement from its 2013 inspection, when it was rated Requires Improvement. The school has clearly built on that progress.

The school offers a solid range of facilities including music rooms, an ICT suite, art studios, a gymnasium, and a forest school area. Sports include football, cricket, athletics, cross country and rounders, and there are clubs such as book club, science club, coding and gardening. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists support for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, social and emotional mental health needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. There is no nursery or sixth form provision. Given its strong academic results and high demand, this school will suit families who prioritise a well-performing local primary with a broad extracurricular offer and a clear track record of improvement.
