Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary
3.8/10 Broadly average

165th 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 4,306 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 3.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 62.0 · 44 40% 1.76
Ofsted 52 34% 1.78
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.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 62.0% 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 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7 out of 10 among them, against 3.1 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 89 pupils in a school with 86 places, meaning it is over capacity by 3. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 3-pupil overage in daily operations? What support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2022 inspection?
