Pomphlett Primary School
Plymouth, PL9 7ES · Plymouth · primary school
29th of 66 primary schools in Plymouth we can score, 69 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 4,328 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0/10 among them, against 5.0/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.88 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.77 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.44 |
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, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0 out of 10 among them, against 5.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council, Eco Council, and First Lego League. They perform in the Nativity Play and Christmas Performance. Trips include visits to the Library, Marine Aquarium, Kent's Cavern, The Box, and Morwellham Quay, plus a Year 6 residential to Porthpean. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 414 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 6 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 are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the Year 6 residential trip? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for new starters?
