About Kingsbridge Primary School

Kingsbridge Primary School sits within Devon local authority, one of 309 primary schools in the county. It is not among the top-ranked peers in the area — Stockland Church of England Primary Academy, Upottery Primary School and Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School all score higher on the local ranking measure — but it serves a distinct community in South Hams. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth form provision. Headteacher Miranda Martyn leads a school of 356 pupils, which is below its capacity of 420. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake: 24 first-preference applications were made for 24 places, with a total of 30 applications overall, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 25. That suggests local demand is solid, even if the school’s Ofsted rating does not match the highest performers in the LA.
