Check the area around this school
111st of 279 primary schools in Devon we can score, 309 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 4.3/10 among them, against 4.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Our Lady and St Patrick's Roman Catholic Primary School
Overview
The inspection found that pupils are proud to attend the school, showing high levels of respect and kindness within a "caring and nurturing environment." Leaders have successfully addressed previous development areas, delivering an "ambitious" curriculum where most pupils meet high expectations for behaviour and achievement.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "positive attitudes to learning" and feel safe, knowing they can speak to trusted adults if worried.
- The early years provision is strong, with adults who "know the needs of the children well" and support vocabulary development effectively.
- Reading is prioritised, with effective phonics teaching and support ensuring pupils become "confident and fluent readers."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are accurately identified and make "strong progress" in line with their peers.
- The curriculum includes relevant safety education, such as recognising beach flags, and opportunities for community contribution.
Areas to improve
- Assessment in foundation subjects is "not precise enough" to check if pupils have retained knowledge, meaning some do not build knowledge as well as they could over time.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
