Sidmouth Church of England Primary School
Sidmouth, EX10 9XB · Devon · primary school
105th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.6/10 against 3,028 of them, against 5.1/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 62% | 3.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 38% | 1.96 |
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, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join SidKids and Eco Warriors clubs, or learn violin, ukulele, piano, guitar, recorder, flute, clarinet, or oboe. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 496 pupils in a building with 664 places, leaving 168 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need help with their learning? What are the specific times for the SidKids and Eco Warriors clubs? How do parents arrange transport for music lessons?
