Schools in Torpoint

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

Torpoint is a small town on the Rame Peninsula in Cornwall, separated from Plymouth by the River Tamar, with 7 schools in the catchment.school database. Torpoint Community College is the area's secondary school (1,141 places, 739 pupils enrolled) – notably undersubscribed, which reflects both the area's demographics and proximity to Plymouth schools across the Torpoint Ferry. Free school meals eligibility is high in community primaries: Fourlanesend at 29% and Carbeile Junior at 22.7%.

Three of the six primaries have a Church of England character: Millbrook CofE Primary, St Nicolas' CofE VA School in Downderry (Ofsted Good, 105 places), and Antony Church of England School (Ofsted Good). These apply diocesan faith criteria before distance tiebreakers. Cornwall Council coordinates all admissions for state schools in the Torpoint area; secondary applications close at the end of October with places offered in early March.
