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 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About The Wroxham School

The Wroxham School is a primary school in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 222 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 77% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 3.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 18% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 13% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 96% of the families who made The Wroxham School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 2.29 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 5.2%. There are about 21.5 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
