About Priddy Primary School

Priddy Primary School is a small state primary in Somerset, with just 39 pupils on roll against a capacity of 60, meaning it is running at about two-thirds full. That spare capacity is notable given the local demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received six applications for its single Reception place, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of six to one. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 28. 2%, which is significantly higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and takes children from age four to eleven, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Its headteacher is Sharon Foxall.
