Loddiswell Primary School

Kingsbridge, TQ7 4BY · Devon · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
4.3/10 Broadly average

143rd 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 4,194 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3/10 among them, against 3.9/10 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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. An Ofsted inspection in May 2023 rated the school Good. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3 out of 10 among them, against 3.9 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in swimming, gymnastics, dance, net and wall games, invasion games, athletics, striking and fielding, and canoeing. Trips include the National Marine Aquarium, Forest and Beach, Dartmoor Zoo, and Grenville House. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 118 pupils in a capacity of 120 places, leaving 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 2 spare places?
