About St Michael's CofE Primary School, Lyme Regis

St Michael's CofE Primary School in Lyme Regis is a small Church of England primary in the Dorset local authority, one of 119 state primary schools across the county. With just 73 pupils on roll against a capacity of 189, it is significantly under-subscribed, though admissions data for 2025/26 shows it was oversubscribed: five first-preference applications were received for five places, with one additional application overall giving a ratio of 1. 2 applicants per place. The school sits in a local landscape where the top-performing peers, according to ranking scores, are Spetisbury CofE Primary School (score 96), St Ives Primary & Nursery School (87), and Sticklands Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School (82). Dorset has only three primaries rated Outstanding out of its 119, so the bar for top-tier performance is high. St Michael's itself holds a Requires Improvement rating from its most recent graded inspection in April 2022, a grade it also received in its previous inspection in 2018.
