St Edward's CofE Primary School
Plymouth, PL6 5ST · Plymouth · primary school
20th 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 4,266 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.4/10 among them, against 6.9/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.4 out of 10 among them, against 6.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Coding Club, Story and Reading Clubs, Board Games, Numbots, TTRS, STEM, Crafting, and Art based clubs. Sports include Plymouth Argyle Football, Plymouth Patriots Basketball, and Running Club. Arts and music features the RockSteady School Band and Choir. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 208 pupils in a capacity of 216, leaving 8 spare places. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive for new applicants.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities does the after-school club offer? How does the school manage the transition for children arriving near capacity?
