Mixed Secondary
3.3/10 Below average

31st of 40 secondary schools in Devon we can score, 41 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 933 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1/10 among them, against 3.3/10 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

Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 35.8 · 30 46% 1.37
Progress 8 2023/24 -0.13 · 40 38% 1.54
Attainment 8 2024/25 40.4 · 22 15% 0.35

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, 35.8% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 for 2023/24 was -0.13, meaning pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1 out of 10 among them, against 3.3 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 691 pupils in a capacity of 884, leaving 193 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 to close the gap between their current attainment and the national median? What specific strategies are used to improve progress scores for students from similar backgrounds? How do smaller class sizes impact individual teacher attention?
