About Nether Stowey Church of England Primary School

Nether Stowey Church of England Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with its most recent admissions data for 2025/26 showing it was oversubscribed. The school received 21 applications for 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 4, and all 15 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This level of demand suggests parents in the Somerset area view it favourably, though no parent survey data is available to confirm satisfaction rates directly. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 5 to 11, with a Church of England character, and is led by headteacher Terry Luke. It currently has 157 pupils on roll, operating below its full capacity of 189, so there is some room for growth. Around 14. 6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national average for primary schools.
