Mrs Ethelston's CofE Primary Academy
Lyme Regis, DT7 3TT · Devon · primary school
55th 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 3,967 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.0/10 among them, against 7.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 16.0 · 85 | 25% | 2.13 |
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, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 16.0% reached the higher standard. An Ofsted inspection in March 2024 rated the school Good. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.0 out of 10 among them, against 7.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in inter-school sports events, Forest School sessions, and trips to Lyme Regis. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 195 pupils in a building with 154 places, meaning it is over capacity by 41. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine for 195 pupils when the official capacity is only 154? With no wraparound care provided, what options exist for parents who need support before or after the school day? How does the school support pupils to progress from the expected standard to the higher standard in core subjects?
