About Kingsacre Primary School

Kingsacre Primary School in North Devon is a school that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed, receiving 28 applications for its 21 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 33. Of those applicants, 17 put it as their first preference, and all of those were offered a place. This level of demand is a strong signal that local families rate the school highly, and it's worth noting that the school has improved significantly in recent years.
