About Ipplepen Primary School

Ipplepen Primary School is a state primary in Teignbridge, Devon, currently operating well below its capacity. With 151 pupils against a school capacity of 210, there is significant room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13. 9%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools in England, suggesting a moderately diverse intake in terms of socio-economic background. Despite the spare capacity, the school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, receiving 24 applications for 18 places, with 17 of those being first-preference applications. This oversubscription ratio of 1. 33 indicates strong local demand, particularly from families who prioritise the school as their top choice. Headteacher Claire Webb leads a mixed-gender, non-religious school for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth-form provision.
