About Knights Templar Community Church School & Nursery

Knights Templar Community Church School & Nursery is a Church of England/Methodist primary in Somerset, a local authority that includes 219 primary schools. It ranks among the top performers in the area, though it sits just behind the very highest-scoring peers: Combe St Nicholas Church of England VA Primary School, Kingfisher Primary School, and Preston CofE Primary School. The school is oversubscribed for its 2025/26 intake, receiving 43 applications for 32 places, with all first-preference applicants receiving an offer. This suggests a solid local reputation, particularly among families who prioritise its religious character and its focus on early years education for children aged 4 to 9. The school does not have a nursery or sixth form, and it is a mixed, state-funded primary with 178 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, meaning there is some room for growth.
