Cockwood Primary School
Exeter, EX6 8RB · Devon · primary school
66th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.9/10 against 3,672 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (6.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Breakfast Club and Always Club. Sports include gymnastics, tennis, football, basketball, and Ivy Games. Music and arts offer guitar, ukulele, drums, violin, clarinet, flute, saxophone, and performances of *Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat*.
Getting in. The school has 83 pupils in a capacity of 84 places, leaving just 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 1 place remaining, what is the current waiting list length? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific activities are included in the Always Club?
