Check the area around this school
207th of 279 primary schools in Devon we can score, 309 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,977 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 2.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 60.0 · 39 | 62% | 2.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about All Saints Church of England Primary School
Overview
All Saints Church of England Primary School is described as a place where pupils are “friendly, well-mannered and respectful” and feel safe. The report highlights an “ambitious curriculum” that is logically designed, with staff setting high expectations for behaviour and academic achievement. While the school has moved from a previous ‘Requires improvement’ judgement, it now receives ‘Good’ ratings across all key inspection categories.
Strengths
- Pupils are “positive about their learning” and benefit from “rich and varied opportunities” such as curriculum trips and after-school clubs.
- The curriculum is “logically designed,” allowing pupils to “build successfully on their prior knowledge,” particularly in mathematics where they regularly problem-solve.

- Staff are “well trained” and supported by ongoing coaching, while governors are “passionate and committed” to the school’s continued improvement.
- Attendance is high, supported by strong relationships with parents and carers, and pupils behave well under a “simple and clear” behaviour policy.
Areas to improve
- Work is not always “adapted precisely enough” for some pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), limiting their progress.
- In a minority of subjects, pupils do not retain learning in their long-term memory as effectively as in others, hindering their ability to deepen understanding.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
