About St Margaret's Church of England Junior School

St Margaret's Church of England Junior School sits within Devon's local authority, one of 309 primary schools in the county. Among its Church of England peers, the school is not ranked alongside the top performers in the area — Stockland Church of England Primary Academy, Upottery Primary School, and Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School all hold higher ranking scores. The school serves the Torridge borough and takes children from age 7 to 11, with a current roll of 201 pupils against a capacity of 240, meaning there is some room for growth. Just over a fifth of its pupils (22.9%) are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools. The headteacher is Sam Malyn, and the school's Church of England character is woven into its facilities, which include a chapel on site.
