About Wilson Primary School

Wilson Primary School in Reading is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 458 pupils against a capacity of 477. That’s a near-full school, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 160 applications for 60 places, with 60 first-preference applications and 53 first-preference offers made. The oversubscription ratio sits at 2.67, meaning nearly three families applied for every spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 12.2%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools nationally. The school has a nursery provision on site, and while it has no religious character, it does list a chapel among its facilities. Headteacher Claire Hurst leads a school that has held a Good Ofsted rating across both its most recent inspections, with the latest graded inspection taking place in 2022.
