Wilkinson Primary School has a published admission number of 420 places. 491 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 117%. At 117% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Wolverhampton allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 44.6% of pupils at Wilkinson Primary School are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Bilston.
