Ofsted: Good · 2026 Inspected this year Mixed Primary Church of England
7.7/10 Above average

22nd 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.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.5/10 against 2,927 of them, against 9.0/10 nationally. 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 83.0 · 92 40% 3.67

Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 17.0 · 87 25% 2.18

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, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Lego, Bright Lights, Gardening, Football, Ball Games and MultiSkills, and Running clubs. Year 6 students attend a residential trip. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 50 pupils in a capacity of 56 places, leaving 6 spare spots. 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? What specific activities take place during the Year 6 residential? How are the 6 remaining places allocated if demand increases?
