Schools in Cullompton

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Cullompton is a mid-Devon market town with 11 schools in the catchment.school database, including 9 primaries and 2 secondaries — Uffculme School and Cullompton Community College. Devon County Council coordinates all community school admissions, publishing catchment maps and oversubscription criteria annually. Three schools are currently at or above capacity, so families are advised to check published catchment boundaries before applying.

Six of the 11 schools operate as academies, and two carry a faith designation. For primary admissions, distance from the school gate is the most common tiebreaker across Devon's community schools. Families whose address sits between the catchment boundaries of Uffculme School and Cullompton Community College should note that each school publishes its own admissions policy independently, and catchment lines may differ from historical norms.
