About Wroxall Primary School

Wroxall Primary School is a small state primary on the Isle of Wight, currently teaching 89 pupils against a capacity of 175, so there is plenty of physical space. However, the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 17 applications for just 12 places, with all 12 first-preference offers taken up, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 42. The pupil population is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage, with 37. 1% of children eligible for free school meals — significantly above the national primary average of around 23%. This context matters because the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in July 2025, judged it Good across all areas including behaviour, personal development, and leadership, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in November 2022. Parents are overwhelmingly positive: 100% of respondents to the Parent View survey would recommend the school, and 87% strongly agreed that their child is happy and does well there.
