About Galmpton Church of England Primary School

Galmpton Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 68 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 34. Of those, 39 were first-preference applications, and all 29 places went to first-preference families. This level of demand is a strong signal that parents who know the school well are keen to secure a spot. The school’s reputation is backed by its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, which rated it Outstanding across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s a clean sweep of top grades, and it’s worth noting that the school has improved from its previous Good rating in 2011. With 221 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is running slightly over capacity, which further underlines its draw.
