Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
3.0/10 Below average

198th 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 the 4,351 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8/10 among them, against 1.8/10 nationally. 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, 19.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8 out of 10 among them, against 1.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs such as Love our Planet, Archery, LEGO Animation, and Virtual Reality. Sports include rounders, cricket, football, swimming, invasion games, taekwondo, Zumba dance, and tag rugby. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 90 pupils in a school with 90 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With 19.0% meeting expected standards against a national median of 64%, what specific support does the school offer to help pupils bridge this gap? Since the school is at full capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? How does the after-school club structure its activities to support pupils’ development beyond the core curriculum?
