About Clyst Heath Nursery and Community Primary School

Clyst Heath Nursery and Community Primary School in Exeter is a state primary that is clearly in demand among local families.

Only 18 of those applicants listed it as their first preference, and all 18 were offered a place, suggesting that while the school is popular, it is not the very first choice for every family.
