South Devon UTC
Newton Abbot, TQ12 2QA · Devon · secondary school
40th of 40 secondary schools in Devon we can score, 41 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 — 0.0/10 against 612 of them, against 0.0/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 15 | 35% | 0.51 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 10.6 · 0 | 30% | 0.01 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -1.29 · 1 | 25% | 0.02 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 25.7 · 0 | 10% | 0.00 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, with its most recent inspection in 2026-02. In 2024/25, 10.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 25.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -1.29 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.0 out of 10 either way).
Getting in. There are 193 pupils in a school with 600 places, leaving 407 spare places. 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 to reach the national median in Attainment 8? What specific support is available for students who need to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the school utilise its large capacity to maintain high academic standards?
