About Peasedown St John Primary School

Peasedown St John Primary School is a mixed state primary in Bath and North East Somerset, currently teaching 414 pupils against a capacity of 525, meaning it has room to grow. The school serves a community with above-average economic need: 22.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23.8%, placing it slightly below that benchmark but notably higher than many schools in the local authority. Demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 66 total applications for 53 places, with all 53 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.25. This suggests a school that is popular but not yet stretched to capacity, and one that families in the area are actively choosing as their first option. The school has nursery provision for children aged two and above, and its intake spans the full primary age range up to 11.
