About Wilton CofE Primary School

Wilton CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Wiltshire with 188 pupils on roll, operating below its capacity of 210. The school serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 35.6 per cent — well above the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 35 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.33. Of those, 14 were first-preference applications, and 14 first-preference offers were made, meaning almost every family who put it first secured a spot. The school is mixed-gender and takes children from age 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Headteacher Richard Boase leads a school that has clearly become a popular choice locally, despite its relatively modest size and the challenges that come with a higher-than-average FSM cohort.
