Wilberlee Junior and Infant School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 7 families put Wilberlee Junior and Infant School as their first choice and 45 named it as one of their preferences, for 12 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 12 in 2021 to 7 in 2026.
Across Kirklees, 94% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Kirklees lodged 268 appeals against primary school offers; 179 reached a hearing and 46 succeeded (25.7% of those heard).
