About Trinity CofE Primary and Nursery School
Trinity CofE Primary and Nursery School in Exeter is a Church of England state primary that is currently running well above its official capacity, with 455 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 420. That oversubscription is backed up by the numbers: for entry in 2025/26, the school received 94 applications for 60 places, with 68 families putting it as their first preference. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.57, meaning nearly three children applied for every two spots. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 12.4%, which is slightly below the national primary average of around 23% and suggests a relatively less deprived intake than many schools nationally, though still a meaningful minority. As a Church of England school with nursery provision from age two, it draws families from across the local area who value that religious character alongside the convenience of an all-through primary from nursery to Year 6.
