About All Saints CofE VC Infants School

All Saints CofE VC Infants School is a small Church of England primary in Somerset that clearly appeals to local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 10 applications for its 8 available places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.25 applicants per place. All eight first-preference families were offered a spot, which suggests that while demand is healthy, those who really want a place here are likely to get one. The school is tiny, with just 53 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90, so classes are small and the atmosphere is intimate. Parents considering this school will want to weigh that personal feel against the most recent Ofsted judgement, which rated the school as Requires Improvement across all areas, including quality of education, behaviour, and leadership. That’s a drop from its previous Good rating in 2016, so it’s worth asking the school about the steps being taken since that November 2023 inspection.
