Kingsmoor Primary School
About Kingsmoor Primary School
Kingsmoor Primary School in Somerset is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is currently running very close to full capacity with 173 pupils against a school capacity of 180. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15 per cent, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools in England (typically around 13 per cent), suggesting a broadly typical intake for a village primary in the South West. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 56 applications for just 24 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 33. Of those, 25 families put Kingsmoor as their first preference, and 21 of those were offered a place. This level of competition signals a school that local families actively want to get into, and the fact that it is oversubscribed by more than two-to-one puts it among the more sought-after primaries in the area.
