Every child who put Hemyock Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About Hemyock Primary School

Hemyock Primary School is a primary school in Cullompton, Devon, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 225 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 12.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Hemyock Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 12 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.2%. There are about 22.5 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. Hemyock Primary 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
