About Lamerton CofE Primary Academy

Lamerton CofE Primary Academy is a small Church of England primary school in West Devon, within the Devon local authority. It is one of 309 primary schools in the county, and while it holds a Good Ofsted rating, it sits outside the top tier of local peers: Stockland Church of England Primary Academy and Upottery Primary School both achieve the highest possible ranking score of 100, with Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School close behind at 94. With just 50 pupils on roll against a capacity of 56, Lamerton is a genuinely intimate setting where class sizes are small by necessity. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, receiving 8 applications for just 2 total places, and all 2 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 4 to 1 suggests strong local demand, even if the school does not feature among the very highest-ranked primaries in the county.
