Broadhempston Village Primary School
About Broadhempston Village Primary School
Broadhempston Village Primary School is a small state primary in Teignbridge, Devon, currently teaching 54 pupils against a capacity of 70, which leaves some physical room but masks a very high level of demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 13 applications for just 3 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4. 33 to one. All three first-preference applicants were offered places, but the numbers make clear that securing a spot is competitive. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 9. 3%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent local intake. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 4 to 11. With a headteacher in place and a Good Ofsted rating from its most recent inspection in 2024, it presents as a well-regarded village school that families in the area are clearly keen to get into.
