About Wittering Primary School

Wittering Primary School has a strong parent community, with 77% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school to other parents. The survey, which ran between September 2024 and September 2025 and collected 44 responses, shows particularly high satisfaction around pupil happiness and safety: 91% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% felt their child is safe. The school is also oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, receiving 39 applications for 33 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.18. All 33 first-preference applicants were offered a place. However, the picture is not uniformly positive. On SEND support, 50% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that children with special educational needs get the support they need, but 35% disagreed or strongly disagreed, suggesting some families feel provision falls short.
