About Marpool Primary School

Marpool Primary School in East Devon is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and the most recent admissions data gives a clear picture of local demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 19 applications for 14 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.36 applicants per place. All 14 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that for families who put it first, the school is a realistic option. There is no parent-view survey data available from Ofsted to gauge satisfaction directly, but the oversubscription figure indicates that a number of local families actively choose Marpool. The school has a nursery provision, which can be a practical draw for parents looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6. With 249 pupils against a capacity of 420, there is room for growth, and the school serves a community where 31.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, above the national average.
