Mixed Primary Church of England
6.2/10 Broadly average

59th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.4/10 against 2,489 of them, against 6.2/10 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 86.0 · 95 62% 5.82
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 0.0 · 10 38% 0.40

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, 86.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. However, 0.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 46 pupils in a building with 84 places, leaving 38 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. With 0.0% of pupils reaching the higher standard, what specific strategies are used to stretch the most able children? How does the school support pupils who need extra help in maths? Since the school is well below capacity, how are class sizes managed to ensure individual attention?
