About Wynstream Primary School Academy

Wynstream Primary School Academy in Exeter is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, and it’s a school where demand slightly outstrips supply. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 39 applications for 31 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.26. Of those, 29 families put Wynstream as their first preference, and all 29 received an offer. That suggests a solid local reputation, even though the school doesn’t publish a parent recommendation percentage in the data. The school is led by headteacher Elise Redman and has 325 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, so there is some room for growth. Over half of pupils (55.1 per cent) are eligible for free school meals, which is a significant proportion and worth noting for families considering the school’s demographic context.
