About Landkey Community Primary Academy

Landkey Community Primary Academy is a mixed state primary in North Devon that currently educates 186 pupils against a capacity of 217, meaning it has room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12. 9%, which is broadly in line with the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 34 applications for 18 places, with all 18 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1. 89 signals a popular local choice, though the school is not yet at full capacity. The school serves children from age 2, with nursery provision on site, and has no religious character. Headteacher Laura Kies leads a school that has held a Good Ofsted rating since its last graded inspection in 2014, with a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirming it remains Good.
