St Mary's CofE Primary School

About St Mary's CofE Primary School

St Mary's CofE Primary School sits within Devon local authority, a Church of England primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11. Among the 309 state primary schools in the county, it is not ranked among the very top performers; the highest-scoring peers locally are Stockland Church of England Primary Academy and Upottery Primary School, both with a ranking score of 100, followed by Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School on 94. St Mary's is based in Torridge, a rural borough in the South West, and currently has 392 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 95 total applications for 58 places, with 54 first-preference offers made — an oversubscription ratio of 1.64. This suggests strong local demand, even if the school does not top the county rankings. Headteacher Zoe Stevens leads a mixed-gender, non-selective state primary with a religious character, and 16.3 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
