About Filleigh Community Primary School

Filleigh Community Primary School is a small state primary in North Devon, currently teaching 66 pupils against a capacity of 105, so there is room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 28. 6%, which is notably higher than the national average of around 23%, reflecting the school's intake in a rural area with pockets of deprivation. Despite the spare capacity, the school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, with 15 applications for 10 places and 8 of those coming as first preferences. This suggests a strong local reputation, even if the school isn't yet full overall. The headteacher is Elizabeth Eggleton, and the school has a nursery provision for children from age three. It is a mixed, non-religious school, and the most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024 judged it Good across all areas, including early years provision, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership.
