About Stoke Damerel Primary Academy

Stoke Damerel Primary Academy is a mixed state primary in Plymouth that currently educates 399 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it is running close to full but with a small amount of headroom. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: 24.6 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23 per cent. Demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 86 applications for 47 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.83, and made 43 offers to first-preference families. That level of competition suggests it is a popular choice locally, even though it is not the highest-ranked school in Plymouth. The school has no religious character and does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, so it is a straightforward primary option for families looking for a four-to-eleven route.
