Torpoint Nursery and Infant School
About Torpoint Nursery and Infant School
Torpoint Nursery and Infant School is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7, and it currently looks after 218 pupils against a school capacity of 360, meaning there is plenty of physical room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18.4%, which is worth noting against the national primary average of around 23% — so the school serves a slightly less disadvantaged intake than the country as a whole, though still a significant minority. Demand for places is healthy: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 59 applications for 52 places, with all 52 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.13 suggests a school that is popular locally but not impossibly hard to get into, especially if you live nearby. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and led by headteacher Danielle Kellond, who took over a school that has clearly built strong community trust — 98% of parents who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey would recommend it.
