About Creech St Michael Church of England Primary School

Creech St Michael Church of England Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 270 children against a capacity of 294. That leaves a small buffer, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 76 applications for just 34 places, with an oversubscription ratio of 2.24. All 34 first-preference families were offered a spot, suggesting that while competition exists, it’s not insurmountable for those who prioritise the school. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 11.9%, which is below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%), indicating a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many peers. The school’s Church of England character is part of its identity, and it draws from the Somerset area, where it ranks 43rd out of 134 primaries in the local authority — comfortably in the top third.
