Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this
The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it. In 2026 the school was not oversubscribed, so no distance limit applied.

About Wheatcroft Community Primary School
Wheatcroft Community Primary School is a primary school in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 205 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 36% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 14.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 99 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Wheatcroft Community Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 24 Reception places. In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 1.16 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 6.9%. There are about 19.7 pupils per teacher. When you visit, you might ask how the school stretches its higher-attaining pupils and supports those who need to catch up.
