Wolvercote Primary School
About Wolvercote Primary School
Wolvercote Primary School is a popular choice among Oxford families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 106 applications for just 44 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.41. Of those applicants, 49 put Wolvercote as their first preference, and all 44 first-preference families were offered a place. That kind of demand suggests parents who get to know the school tend to be keen on it. While the school doesn't publish a formal parent-view survey score, the high first-preference rate and the fact it’s oversubscribed by more than two-to-one are strong signals that local families rate it highly. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, ages 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Mandy Hayes.
