Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary Church of England
2.5/10 Below average

221st of 280 primary schools in Devon we can score, 310 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 1,436 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 3.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2 out of 10 among them, against 3.3 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 150 pupils in a school with 150 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school at full capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications? Since the recent inspection was in 2026, what specific actions have been taken to address the areas highlighted by inspectors? How do the wraparound clubs integrate with the core curriculum for pupils needing extra support?

Your offer chance

Based on official applications/offers, distance and catchment where we have it. Bands only — never a percentage.

Sibling, faith, looked-after and other criteria can override distance. Always confirm with the school or local authority.
