School Admissions

As a Local Authority Maintained school, the Isle of Wight Council is our admissions authority. To view the Isle of Wight Council’s Admissions Policy and to apply for a place for your child at Wootton Community Primary School, please click here.

Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision as a parent to make and we want to be able to help make this a straightforward process for you. We recommend that you visit the schools in your locality to ask the questions important for you and of course, see the school in action.

If you would like your child to attend our school, please contact the school office in the first instance so that we can make an appointment for you to visit. Telephone 01983 882505 or email office@woottonpri.iow.sch.uk

Applying for Reception class September 2026:

If you would like to apply for your child to join our Reception class in September 2026, your will need to apply through the Isle of Wight Council before the deadline on 15th January 2026. Please note that there are some changes to the admission application window (see Isle of Wight Council poster below). In order to help you decide whether Wootton Community Primary School is the right school for your child, we hold several new entrant tours during November. If you are unable to attend one of the pre-organised tour dates, please contact the office and we will make alternative arrangements with you.
