St Michael's Church of England Primary Academy
Exeter, EX1 2SN · Devon · primary school
54th 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 the 3,562 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.8/10 among them, against 6.3/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 62% | 3.50 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 38% | 2.84 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.8 out of 10 among them, against 6.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Choir and Orchestra, and learn steel pans, Taiko drums, Djembe drums, Samba, Xylophones, Glockenspiels, JSaxes, and PBones.
Getting in. The school has 419 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving just 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What are the specific entry requirements for the Choir and Orchestra? Since there is no breakfast or after-school club, what options exist for wraparound care?
