About Stogumber CofE Primary School

Parents at Stogumber CofE Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, every single respondent said they would recommend the school to other parents. That 100% recommendation rate is backed by strong individual scores: 76% of parents strongly agreed their child is happy at the school, and 62% strongly agreed their child feels safe. The school is clearly popular locally too. For its 2025/26 reception intake, Stogumber received 18 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 57. Nine of those applications were first-preference choices, and all 7 places went to first-preference families. With only 43 pupils on roll against a capacity of 49, the school is small but clearly in demand, and parents seem to value the close-knit feel that comes with a village primary of this size.
