About Wyvern Primary School

Wyvern Primary School in Leicester is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 442 pupils against a capacity of 480. That leaves a little breathing room, though the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 63 applications for 46 places, with all 46 first-preference offers accepted. The oversubscription ratio of 1.37 confirms it’s a popular choice among local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 14.9%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%), suggesting a slightly more affluent intake than the wider Leicester area. The school is non-denominational, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Mark Wilson. It also offers nursery provision, so children can join from age three, which may appeal to families looking for continuity through to Year 6.
