Bishops Hull Primary School

About Bishops Hull Primary School

Bishops Hull Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Somerset, and its intake data tells a story of a school that is genuinely popular with local families. With 215 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is effectively full, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 73 applications for just 28 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.61. Of those 73 applications, 26 were first-preference choices, and 26 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family who put it first got a place, but there simply weren't enough spots for everyone else. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 17.7%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% but still indicates a significant minority of children from less advantaged backgrounds. This is a school that draws from a mixed catchment, and the oversubscription suggests it has a strong reputation locally, particularly among families who prioritise it as their top choice.
