Hartland Primary School
Bideford, EX39 6BP · Devon · primary school
28th 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 — 9.0/10 against 3,977 of them, against 8.6/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 16.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 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 (9.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join KS2 Art, Creative Outdoors, Choir, brass group, and Relax Kids clubs. Sports include volleyball, athletics, Boccia, hockey, Ninja Warriors, netball, football, and cricket. Musical events include the Bideford Singing Festival, Summer Concert, and Singing Festival. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 106 pupils in a capacity of 124 places, leaving 18 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities does the Creative Outdoors club involve? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2?
