Fremington Primary School
Barnstaple, EX31 3DD · Devon · primary school
259th 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 3,780 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7/10 among them, against 1.3/10 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 | 46.0 · 14 | 62% | 0.85 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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, 46.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7 out of 10 among them, against 1.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs such as Lego and construction, Wilderness Warriors, and Coding, alongside sports like Gymnastics and Tag Rugby. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 346 pupils in a building with 420 places, leaving 74 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How do you manage class sizes given the current number of spare places?
