About Wix and Wrabness Primary School

Wix and Wrabness Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 19 first-preference applications for just 17 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school was oversubscribed overall, receiving 37 total applications for those 17 spots, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.18. That kind of demand suggests parents who know the school well are keen to get their children in. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent view survey for this school, the high first-preference ratio — 17 offers made to 19 first-choice applicants — is a strong practical signal that families who list it as their top pick are very likely to secure a place. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with a capacity of 119 and currently 118 pupils on roll, so it is running almost exactly at capacity.
