Wymeswold Church of England Primary School
About Wymeswold Church of England Primary School
Wymeswold Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 27 applications for just 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.7. All 10 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is high, those who put it first stand a strong chance. The school is a small, state-funded primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with 115 pupils on roll against a capacity of 156, so there is some room for growth. It holds a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Jan Scallon. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in July 2024, the school was confirmed to have maintained its Good rating, a grade it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections. The early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness were all rated Good in the most recent graded inspection from December 2018.
