Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
2.3/10 Below average

231st 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 — 3.3/10 against 2,982 of them, against 3.4/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 38.0 · 7 40% 0.27
Ofsted 3 35% 0.11

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 38.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in May 2024. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Reading Club, Drawing, Summer Games, and Netball. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 72 pupils in a building with 105 places, leaving 33 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 below the expected standard in maths? What specific steps are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? How does the after-school club operate for families who need care after the school day ends?
