It has 185 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. 60% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%).

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Milverton Community Primary School and Pre-School their first choice was offered one of its 22 Reception places. In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 3.42 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 6.1%. There are about 20.5 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 7% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Milverton Community Primary School and Pre-School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
