About Yealmpton Primary School

Yealmpton Primary School sits within Devon local authority, a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11. In the South Hams district, it ranks 25th out of 35 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of local schools. The top-performing peers in the area include Stockland Church of England Primary Academy, Upottery Primary School, and Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School, all of which score higher on the same metric. With 171 pupils against a capacity of 210, the school is undersubscribed overall but oversubscribed for its reception intake: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 24 applications for 18 places, all 18 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. The school has no religious character and does not offer nursery provision. Headteacher Samantha Wilkinson leads a team that has maintained a Good rating from Ofsted since at least 2013, with the most recent graded inspection in June 2023 confirming Good across all categories including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision.
