Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Wilberforce Primary first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

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

Location

Wilberforce Primary at a glance

Located in London, Westminster, Wilberforce Primary is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. The school educates roughly 141 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 7.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to 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 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 8% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Wilberforce Primary was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 17 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.2%. There are about 13.5 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 54% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Wilberforce Primary does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. 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.
