Compton CofE Primary School
Plymouth, PL3 5JB · Plymouth · primary school
7th of 66 primary schools in Plymouth we can score, 69 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 — 9.4/10 against 3,139 of them, against 9.5/10 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 | 86.0 · 95 | 40% | 3.79 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 24.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.38 |
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, 86.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 24.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2025. 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 (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. An after-school club is available for pupils.
Getting in. The school has 429 pupils in a capacity of 436, leaving 7 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 7 places remaining, what is the current waitlist status for new admissions? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents? How does the school support pupils in reaching the higher standard, given that 24.0% currently achieve this?
