About Yealmpstone Farm Primary School

Yealmpstone Farm Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Plymouth, currently home to 224 pupils against a capacity of 240, meaning it is operating close to but not at full roll. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18.8%, which is a useful benchmark for families considering the school's intake profile. Demand is clearly strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 62 total applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.21. All 28 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that while the school is popular, those who put it first are likely to secure a spot. 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 in the area.
