About Ashill Community Primary School

Ashill Community Primary School is a small state primary in Somerset that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 13 applications for just 6 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.17. All four first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that while the school is popular, those who put it first are likely to get in. The school has a nursery provision for children aged two and over, which may help families settle in early. With just 43 pupils on roll against a capacity of 60, there is some room to grow, but the oversubscription figures indicate that demand is healthy. ParentView data is not available in this dataset, so we cannot report a recommendation percentage, but the combination of strong first-preference uptake and a Good Ofsted rating suggests a school that local parents trust.
