Schools in Teignmouth
Teignmouth is a seaside town on the Teign Estuary in South Devon, with 6 schools coordinated by Devon County Council. The town's secondary school, Teignmouth Community School, serves pupils from Teignmouth and surrounding areas including Shaldon and Bishopsteignton.
Devon County Council's admissions arrangements for the Teignmouth area use distance to school as the tiebreaker for oversubscribed community schools. The town is close to Teignbridge District and some families in outlying villages may be closer to schools in Newton Abbot than to Teignmouth.
For the 2026 admissions round, families should apply through Devon County Council's online portal by the national deadline. The council publishes annual composite prospectuses covering all Devon schools, with specific catchment boundary maps available on request.
