12th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.0/10 against 2,559 of them, against 8.0/10 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 | 85.0 · 94 | 62% | 5.77 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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 Marsh CofE Academy
Overview
All Saints Marsh CofE Academy is described as a place of calm where pupils are happy, respectful, and eager to learn. The school maintains high expectations for achievement, with positive relationships between staff and pupils contributing to an environment where learning is rarely disturbed.
Strengths
- Pupils follow an "ambitious curriculum" with carefully ordered knowledge, and teachers present new information clearly.
- The school has adopted an "effective early reading programme," ensuring most pupils become confident and fluent readers by Year 6.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) has strengthened, enabling them to achieve well and learn alongside peers.
- Personal development is promoted well, with pupils learning about emotions, well-being, tolerance, and democracy.
- Attendance has improved, and pupils feel safe and comfortable, wanting to spend time with friends in both the playground and classroom.
Areas to improve
- On occasion, teaching does not build precisely enough on what pupils already know, meaning pupils do not deepen their understanding as well as they could in some parts of the curriculum.
Safeguarding
