About Laira Green Primary School

Laira Green Primary School is a state primary in Plymouth that currently educates 224 pupils against a capacity of 280, meaning it has room to grow. The school serves a community with significant economic need: 48.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average of around 23%. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 45 applications for 24 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.88, and all 24 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This suggests that while the school is popular locally, families who put it first are likely to secure a place. The school is mixed, non-religious, and caters for children from age 2 through to 11, with nursery provision on site.
