Wyke Regis Infant School and Nursery
About Wyke Regis Infant School and Nursery
Wyke Regis Infant School and Nursery is a state primary in Dorset for children aged 3 to 7, currently home to 236 pupils against a capacity of 250. That near-full roll is no surprise given the demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 105 applications for 46 places, making it oversubscribed by more than two to one. All 46 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the overall oversubscription ratio of 2.28 tells you competition is real. The school serves a community with above-average disadvantage — 25.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23.8% — so its popularity isn't just about catchment demographics. It also offers a nursery, which feeds into the main school and adds to the sense of continuity for local families.
