Schools in Brixham
Brixham is a working fishing port and tourist town at the southern tip of Torbay, Devon. Its seven schools are all academies, and three are formally oversubscribed — among the highest oversubscription rates for a town this size in south-west England. Five of the six schools with Ofsted ratings have achieved Good or Outstanding, and the average fill rate of 87% signals sustained demand. Churston Ferrers Grammar School Academy is a selective school admitting by academic assessment.
Torbay Council coordinates admissions for non-selective schools. For Churston Ferrers Grammar, pupils must sit the selective test in Year 5; the school draws from across Torbay and south Devon. Non-selective schools in Brixham use standard oversubscription criteria. The three oversubscribed primaries mean younger families should apply early and include alternatives to avoid missing out — particularly on Eden Park Primary and Furzeham Primary, which are popular choices.
