About Feniton Church of England Primary School

Feniton Church of England Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, located in the East Devon borough. The school is currently operating above its official capacity, with 237 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. This oversubscription is reflected in its admission data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 32 applications for 19 places, with all 19 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.68. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.2 per cent, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools but sits within a typical range for a village setting in Devon. The school’s religious character is Church of England, and the headteacher is Amanda Fulford. The combination of above-capacity pupil numbers and strong first-preference demand suggests a school that is well-regarded locally, particularly among families who value its church affiliation and its position within the East Devon community.
