Sidbury Church of England Primary School

Sidbury, EX10 0SB · Devon · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.6/10 Broadly average

82nd 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.1/10 against 3,548 of them, against 5.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 62.0 · 44 40% 1.74

Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 14.0 · 81 25% 2.03

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 62% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 14% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.8 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 135 pupils in a school with 105 places, meaning it is over capacity by 30. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is 30 pupils over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support daily routines?
