Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
2.5/10 Below average

220th 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 4,344 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.4/10 among them, against 1.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 42.0% 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. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.4 out of 10 among them, against 1.0 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a climbing wall, ultimate Frisbee, archery, low ropes, paddle sports, abseiling, and a nativity play, alongside a trip to a rewilding site.

Getting in. The school has no spare places against its capacity. What that means is that the school is full, so new admissions are unlikely unless a place becomes available.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What are the specific plans to improve attainment in writing? How does the school manage the high demand for places given it is currently at full capacity?
