St Thomas of Canterbury CofE Primary School
Crediton, EX17 6QE · Devon · primary school
195th 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 — 5.7/10 against 1,713 of them, against 4.5/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.19 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| 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, 56.0% 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 "Requires improvement" in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for recorder, choir, coding, construction, chess, gardening, comics, and crafts. Sports include dodgeball, cricket, football, rugby, netball, the daily mile, yoga, and forest school. Music lessons cover drumming, flute, violin, viola, cello, keyboard, and guitar. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 49 pupils in a building with 105 places, leaving 56 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 are below the expected standard in maths? What specific steps are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How does the after-school club operate for families who need care after the school day ends?
