Croscombe Church of England Primary School
About Croscombe Church of England Primary School
Croscombe Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in Somerset, with just 40 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90. That means the school is operating at less than half its potential size, which is striking for a village primary. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20 per cent, above the national average for primary schools, suggesting a more diverse intake than some local peers. Despite the spare capacity, the school was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving four applications for three places and offering two of those to first-preference families. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1. 33, a modest but clear signal of local demand. The school is Church of England, led by headteacher Chris Partridge, and serves the 4-11 age range.
