Blackawton Primary School
Totnes, TQ9 7BE · Devon · primary school
205th 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 4,272 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 1.6/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Global Citizens, Children's University, Music, Gardening, and Food Bank. Sports options cover multi-sports, sailing, surfing, Bikeability, and Daily Mile Running. Arts activities include the Dart Music Festival, peripatetic music, and theatre. Trips visit Washwalk Farm, Forest School, Kent's Cavern, and the Eden Centre. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 135 pupils in a capacity of 140, leaving 5 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who miss the expected standard in core subjects? What provisions exist for children arriving late or leaving early, given the lack of wraparound care? How does the curriculum prepare students for the transition to secondary school?
