Applying to Yeo Valley Primary School

Yeo Valley Primary School is its own admission authority — as an academy sponsor led, it sets its own admission criteria rather than Devon setting them.

You still apply through Devon, not to the school directly. Every council runs a coordinated scheme, and one form covers every state school you name, academies included.

We do not hold catchment areas. There is no national dataset of them: every council draws its own, redraws them when a school opens or closes, and many admit by distance from the gate rather than by a boundary at all. Ask Devon for this year's, and read the school's own admission arrangements before you rely on anything.
