About Wraxall Church of England Primary School

Wraxall Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in North Somerset that clearly commands strong local confidence. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 18 applications for just 5 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 6 to one. Only 4 of those applications were first-preference offers, meaning the vast majority of families who applied did not get their top choice, which underscores how sought-after this school is. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage for this school, the sheer demand for places speaks volumes about its reputation among local families. The school has a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Amy Townsend. With 70 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, it is operating well below its maximum, yet still turning away the majority of applicants — a clear signal that its appeal is not about spare capacity but about something more fundamental.
