Wychbold First and Nursery School
About Wychbold First and Nursery School
Wychbold First and Nursery School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The school’s most recent graded inspection took place in 2010, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed that it remains Good. In that 2022 visit, inspectors rated leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all as Good. The school serves children from age 3 to 9, and with 150 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, it is not at full capacity. However, it is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 35 applications for 21 places, with all 21 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1. 67 suggests strong local demand, and the fact that every first-preference family secured a place will be reassuring for parents considering it as their top choice.
