Kingsbridge, TQ7 1NL · Devon · primary school

Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
3.5/10 Broadly average

177th 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 — 5.1/10 against 3,998 of them, against 5.3/10 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.

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, 61.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in March 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.3 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 356 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 64 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 plan to improve outcomes to meet the national median? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual pupil support?
