Check the area around this school
82nd 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 — 6.0/10 against 3,666 of them, against 5.8/10 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) 2024/25 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Chudleigh Church of England Community Primary School
Overview
Chudleigh Church of England Community Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a nurturing environment where pupils feel happy and safe. Leaders promote an inclusive culture, ensuring all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, receive the support needed to learn well and develop as active citizens.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "respectful relationships" and a "strong sense of justice," with bullying being rare.
- Leaders deliver an "ambitious curriculum" and focus on expanding pupils’ vocabulary, particularly in early years and mathematics.
- Reading has a "high profile," with staff effectively teaching phonics and providing extra help for those who struggle.
- Parents hold positive views, noting that leaders take "fast action" in response to concerns.
- Governors ask "appropriate questions" to check the quality of education and ensure leaders’ plans have a positive impact.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not use assessment information effectively, meaning learning is not always based on what pupils already know or where gaps exist.
- Leaders need to strengthen the effectiveness of assessment in these subjects and provide teachers with the expertise to use it well, so pupils can build knowledge more securely.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving suitable training and leaders acting quickly to respond to concerns.
