About Draycott & Rodney Stoke Church of England First School

Draycott & Rodney Stoke Church of England First School is a small primary that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 11 applications for just 5 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 2. All 5 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that while demand is strong, the school is still accessible to those who put it first. With a capacity of 90 and only 74 pupils on roll, there is some physical room to grow, though the high application numbers indicate that the school's reputation in Somerset is driving competition. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed it 'remains Good', a rating it has held consistently. In that inspection, early years provision was judged Outstanding, which is a notable strength for a school that offers nursery provision for children from age 2.
