About Ilsington Church of England Primary School

Ilsington Church of England Primary School is a small village school in Teignbridge that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 26 applications for just 12 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.17. All 12 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for families who put it top of their list, the odds are decent, but competition is real. The school has a nursery provision for children aged 2 and up, which may help families get a foot in the door early. With just 98 pupils on a capacity of 80, it is running slightly over its official number, but that is common for popular primaries. The headteacher is Katherine Williams, and the school has a Church of England character, which may appeal to families looking for a faith-based setting in the Devon countryside.
