All Saints Church School
About All Saints Church School
All Saints Church School is a state primary for children aged 4 to 11, and it’s a Church of England school in Somerset. With 203 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, it’s essentially full, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 48 applications for 30 places, making it officially oversubscribed. 27 of those applications were first-preference offers, so most families who put it top got in, but competition is real. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 7.4%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting the intake skews towards more affluent families. That said, the school isn’t exclusive — it’s a mixed, inclusive setting with a religious character that may appeal to local families looking for a community-focused primary with a clear moral framework. The headteacher is Sharon Bowditch, and the school has a Good Ofsted rating from its most recent inspection.
