Admissions and catchment
Year 3 entry · Wokingham council allocation figures, 2023–2026
Add a postcode to see where you would sit against past cut-offs.
Every on-time applicant was offered a place in 2024. Add your postcode to compare with earlier years.
Why we say “Add your postcode”
- Wokingham did not publish a usable cut-off for 2026, so this uses 2024.
- In 2024 Wokingham reports that every on-time applicant was offered a place (national offer day).
- 35 applications for 32 places in 2026 (1.1 per place).
What could change this
- We measure a straight line from your postcode centre. The council measures from your home address, sometimes along walking routes, so treat anything near the line with care.
- Cut-offs move every year with the number of applicants and siblings.
- Children with an EHC plan, looked-after children and siblings are usually offered places before distance is used.
- Past allocations never guarantee a place.
Everyone who applied on time was offered a place, so distance did not decide entry and there is no ring to draw.
Last offer distance
