About Abbotskerswell Primary School

Abbotskerswell Primary School is a small state primary in Teignbridge, Devon, currently teaching 102 pupils against a capacity of 110, so it is running close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.8%, which is notably lower than the national primary average of around 23%, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 28 applications for just 12 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.33, and all 11 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This indicates a popular local school where families are keen to secure a place, though the fact that all first-preference families were successful suggests the catchment is manageable for those who prioritise it. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
