About Willand School

Willand School is a popular choice among local families, with 88 applications for 53 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.66. Of those applications, 46 were first-preference choices, and all 46 received an offer. While the school does not publish a parent satisfaction survey, the high demand suggests a strong reputation in the Mid Devon area. The school is led by headteacher Naomi Tottle and serves 390 pupils aged 4 to 11, operating within its capacity of 417. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in January 2024, rated the school Good overall, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2021. All five graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — were rated Good, reflecting consistent progress across the board.
