About Langtree Community School and Nursery Unit

Langtree Community School and Nursery Unit sits within Devon local authority, in the Torridge district, and is one of 309 primary schools across the county. Among its local peers, the top performers are Stockland Church of England Primary Academy, Upottery Primary School, and Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. Langtree itself ranks 222nd in Devon, placing it in the bottom half of primary schools locally. With just 81 pupils against a capacity of 84, it is a small, close-knit school that serves a rural community. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 10 applications for 6 places, with all 6 first-preference offers accepted. This suggests strong local demand despite its modest ranking. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age 2, making it a natural choice for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
