Which primary schools in Crewkerne have the best SATs results?

Of the 3 primary schools in Crewkerne with 2025 Key Stage 2 results, the highest shares of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading and maths were at St Bartholomew's Church of England Primary School (75% in reading, 79% in maths); Ashlands Church of England Primary School (66% in reading, 63% in maths); and Haselbury Plucknett Church of England Primary School (64% in reading, 43% in maths).

Do schools in Crewkerne have catchment areas?

Most state schools in Crewkerne have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Somerset allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.

How do I apply for a school place in Crewkerne?

Apply to Somerset through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts. Independent schools run their own admissions, so apply to those directly.
