Wynyard Church of England Primary School
About Wynyard Church of England Primary School
Wynyard Church of England Primary School is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its popularity among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 83 applications for just 61 places, with 63 of those applicants listing it as their first preference. This demand is understandable given the school’s distinctive intake profile: it currently has 462 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it is running over its official number. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at just 1. 3%, far below the national average and a figure that suggests a relatively affluent catchment. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Sarah Wassell. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in January 2024, confirmed that the school continues to be Outstanding, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in 2018.
