About Brixington Primary Academy

Brixington Primary Academy is a school that parents clearly want for their children. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 67 applications for just 36 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.86, meaning nearly two families applied for every available spot. All 36 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is a realistic choice. The school is a state-funded primary for mixed genders, serving children from age 2 to 11, and is led by headteacher Stuart Dyer. It has a nursery provision, which can be a practical advantage for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6. With 20.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average economic diversity compared with some local primaries.
