Schools in South Molton
South Molton is a small market town in North Devon, administered by Devon County Council for school admissions. The 6 schools in and around South Molton serve a largely rural community in the Taw Valley, with South Molton Community College providing secondary education for pupils from across a wide catchment.
Devon County Council coordinates admissions for community schools in the area using a nearest-school or home-to-school distance tiebreaker. Rural schools in Devon typically have less competitive catchments than urban Devon schools, but families in outlying villages should verify which primary their address is linked to.
Secondary pupils who do not secure a place at South Molton Community College may need to travel to Barnstaple or Crediton. Devon County Council's admissions team can advise on transport entitlement for eligible pupils living beyond the statutory walking distance.
