Holbeton Primary School
Plymouth, PL8 1LT · Devon · primary school
11th 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 — 9.4/10 against 2,304 of them, against 9.6/10 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 | 88.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.40 |
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, 88.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 25.0% reached the higher standard. 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, 9.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Cross Country and Football Clubs. Trips include Forest School, Farm School, and Beach School. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 67 pupils in a building with 105 places, leaving 38 spare places. 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 during the lunch break, given there is no after-school club? What specific activities take place during the Forest, Farm, and Beach School trips? How does the current class size compare to the maximum capacity for the year group?
