About Herons' Moor Academy

Herons' Moor Academy is a state primary school in North Somerset that is currently running above its official capacity, with 448 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 16. 3%, which is a useful benchmark for families comparing local intakes. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 80 applications for 45 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1. 78. Of those, 39 were first-preference applications, and all 39 received offers. That level of competition suggests the school is a popular choice among local families, and the data backs that up — 91% of parents who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey would recommend the school. The headteacher is Georgina Tinker, and the school has no religious character, so it draws from a broad catchment.
