About Huish Episcopi Primary School

Huish Episcopi Primary School is a state primary in Somerset, a local authority where just six of its 219 primary schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself ranks 8th out of 134 primaries in the county, placing it comfortably in the top tier of Somerset schools. Its closest peers at the very top of the local rankings include Combe St Nicholas Church of England VA Primary School, Kingfisher Primary School, and Preston CofE Primary School. With 177 pupils on a capacity of 210, the school is undersubscribed relative to its physical space, yet it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 42 applications for 25 places and offering all 25 to first-preference families. Headteacher Jenny Chadbourne leads a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 4 to 11, and the most recent Ofsted inspection in April 2025 judged the school to have improved significantly since its previous graded inspection, maintaining a Good rating across all categories including quality of education, behaviour, and leadership.
