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

226th 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 3,583 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 3.4/10 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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. However, 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in February 2026. 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 3.4 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 115 pupils in a building with 70 places, meaning it is over capacity by 45. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the significant overcapacity of 45 pupils? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do you support pupils who have not yet reached the higher standard?
