Chulmleigh Primary School
Chulmleigh, EX18 7AA · Devon · primary school
179th 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 3,891 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 2.5/10 nationally. 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 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. 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 2.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including singing, gardening, sewing, Woody Wonders, CMAc, The Teachers Rock Youth Choir, and LAMDA lessons, alongside seasonal sports. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 240 pupils in a building with 170 places, meaning it is over capacity by 70. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 70 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is offered to help pupils bridge the gap between the 45.0% expected standard and the 64% national median? How does the after-school club operate given the current pupil numbers?
