St Lawrence's CofE Primary School
About St Lawrence's CofE Primary School
St Lawrence’s CofE Primary School in Somerset is a small Church of England primary that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 13 applications for just 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 3, and all 10 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests parents who get a place tend to be satisfied — though the school’s parent view data isn’t available in this dataset, the fact it’s oversubscribed is a strong practical signal. With just 52 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90, the school is running well below its maximum, which means class sizes are small and children are likely to get plenty of individual attention. Headteacher Sharon Foxall leads a Good-rated school, a rating it has held across both its most recent Ofsted inspections, with the latest graded inspection in March 2023 awarding Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision.
