About Seaton Primary School

Seaton Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary for ages 4 to 11 in East Devon, and it is operating very close to full capacity. With 376 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 384, there is almost no slack in the system. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.2 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively advantaged intake compared with the wider population. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 49 total applications for 45 places, making it officially oversubscribed. Crucially, 44 of those applications were first-preference choices, and 44 first-preference offers were made, meaning almost every family who put Seaton first got a place, but late applicants or those listing it lower would have found it very tight. This is a school that local families clearly want to get into, and the numbers back that up.
