About Christow Primary School

Christow Primary School is a small state primary in the Devon village of Christow, currently teaching 94 pupils against a capacity of 120. That leaves a fair amount of physical space, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 16 applications for just 13 places, with 15 of those coming as first preferences. All 13 first-preference offers were accepted, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.23. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 11.7%, which is slightly below the national primary average of around 23% and suggests a relatively affluent local catchment. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and takes children from age two through to eleven, with nursery provision on site. Headteacher Amy Yeo leads a team that has maintained a Good Ofsted rating across inspections dating back to 2011, with the most recent ungraded visit in March 2024 confirming the school remains Good and is improving.
