About East Huntspill Primary Academy

East Huntspill Primary Academy is a state-funded mixed primary school in Somerset that is currently running well over its official capacity. With 81 pupils on roll against a capacity of 56, the school is clearly in high demand locally. That demand is reflected in its admissions data for 2025/26: the school received 24 applications for 14 places, with all 14 first-preference offers going to families who named it as their top choice. The oversubscription ratio of 1. 71 means for every place available, nearly two families applied. The school serves a community with a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals — 38. 3%, which is significantly above the national average. This context matters when looking at the school's academic results, as it suggests East Huntspill is supporting a cohort with higher-than-average levels of disadvantage. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age two, and its headteacher is Emma Barker.
