Clyst Vale Community College
Exeter, EX5 3AJ · Devon · secondary school
22nd of 40 secondary schools in Devon we can score, 41 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 — 4.1/10 against 924 of them, against 4.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 40.4 · 41 | 30% | 1.24 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.02 · 49 | 25% | 1.22 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.5 · 43 | 10% | 0.43 |
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, 40.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.02 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Wellbeing ambassador scheme, Amnesty International group, and Youth Cultural Champions. Sports include athletics, football, netball, rugby, cricket, table tennis, badminton, and cross country. Arts activities feature the Spring Concert and Doorstep Arts Devising Discovery Platform. Trips include Ten Tors, the Tavistock Triathlon, a Year 11 Ninja Warrior trip, and the Clystvale U16s Rugby Tournament & Twickenham Experience.
Getting in. The school has 936 pupils in a capacity of 1124 places, leaving 188 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
