About Salcombe Church of England Primary School

Salcombe Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The school’s most recent graded inspection in 2016 rated overall effectiveness as Good, with leadership and management and early years provision also judged Good. An ungraded inspection in June 2025 noted that some aspects are not as strong, but the overall Good rating remains in place. With just 102 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90, the school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 12 applications for 10 places, all of which were first preferences. The school serves a Church of England community in South Hams, Devon, and offers nursery provision for children from age 2. Its small size means class sizes are likely to be intimate, and the school’s religious character may appeal to families seeking a faith-based primary education.
