About Brixham Church of England Primary School

Brixham Church of England Primary School is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently teaching 216 pupils against a capacity of 252. That leaves some physical room to grow, but the school is already oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake: it received 28 applications for 18 places, with 14 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1. 56, a clear signal of local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 24. 5%, notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and well above the Torbay average, suggesting the school serves a relatively disadvantaged catchment. The school also offers nursery provision, making it a natural choice for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
