Check the area around this school
245th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.0/10 against 3,670 of them, against 0.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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) 2023/24 | 0.0 · 0 | 40% | 0.00 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 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.

Strengths
- Leaders have designed an ‘ambitious curriculum’ that effectively sequences learning, particularly in early years, mathematics, and reading.
- Reading is a whole-school priority; children learn phonics from Reception and receive timely support, ensuring they ‘love to read’.
- Pupils are ‘polite, respectful and welcoming’, with bullying rarely occurring and strong relationships between staff and learners.
- Staff make effective adaptations for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enabling them to learn well.
- Leaders work collaboratively across the federation and are regarded as ‘approachable and supportive’ regarding staff well-being.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum in some wider subject areas is not yet fully embedded, meaning pupils do not learn as successfully as they could in those subjects.
- Leaders’ high expectations are not consistently applied by all staff, leading to variability in the learning experience and resources for some pupils.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where leaders provide regular training and work closely with other agencies to support pupils and families.
