St John the Baptist Roman Catholic Primary School, Dartmouth
Dartmouth, TQ6 9HW · Devon · primary school
159th 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 — 3.3/10 against 2,913 of them, against 3.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 44.0 · 12 | 40% | 0.47 |
| 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 44.0% 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. 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 (3.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023.
Getting in. The school has 79 pupils in a capacity of 87 places, leaving 8 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities or trips are available to pupils during the school day? How does the school plan to maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
