Best primary schools in Devon

280 of 312 primary schools ranked by Met expected standard (RWM) · all Devon schools · secondary schools

Ranked on Met expected standard (RWM), 2024/25 — the most recent year each school has published. Official data, not our opinion — but the ranking is only as good as the measure, and a single number never describes a school. We hold real catchment boundaries for 288 of them.

231 of 312 rated Good or Outstanding
15 oversubscribed on first preference
10 Good or better and undersubscribed — the overlooked ones
Median Met expected standard (RWM): 60.0% (best 100.0%)
