Stoke Hill Infant and Nursery School
About Stoke Hill Infant and Nursery School
Stoke Hill Infant and Nursery School is a state primary in Exeter that serves children from age 3 to 7, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 rated it Good across all areas. That places it in the majority of Devon’s 309 primary schools, but it’s worth noting that only five primaries in the local authority hold an Outstanding rating, so Good is a solid, common benchmark here. The school’s Progress 8 or KS2 SATs data isn’t available in the public record, so we can’t directly compare its headline academic metrics against the Devon LA average of 57 for KS2 attainment. However, the school’s oversubscription figures tell their own story: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 113 applications for 72 places, with 68 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.57. That level of demand suggests local parents see it as a strong option, even without published exam results to stack against the county average.
