About Wookey Primary School

If you're considering Wookey Primary School, the parent feedback is a good place to start. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, a striking 96% of the 28 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's a very strong signal of satisfaction. Digging into the detail, 100% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 96% felt their child is safe. On the practical side, 97% agreed the school keeps them informed about what their child will learn, and 75% felt concerns are dealt with properly. The school is also genuinely popular locally: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 20 applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 43. All 13 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the overall demand means it's not a guaranteed option for everyone who applies.
