About St Peter's Church of England First School
St Peter's Church of England First School is a small state primary in Somerset, one of 219 primary schools in the local authority. It is a mixed, Church of England school for children aged 2 to 9, with a nursery provision on site. Among its local peers, the school sits below the top performers in the area — Combe St Nicholas Church of England VA Primary School, Kingfisher Primary School, and Preston CofE Primary School all rank higher. With just 99 pupils on roll against a capacity of 120, the school is not at full capacity, yet it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 25 applications for 20 places and offering 19 of those to first-preference families. This suggests a steady local demand, particularly from families who value its Church of England character. The school is led by headteacher Maida White and serves a community where 37. 4 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average.
