St Thomas Primary School

Exeter, EX2 9BB · Devon · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
2.5/10 Below average

224th 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 3,002 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 1.1/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 43.0 · 11 40% 0.43
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 0.0 · 10 25% 0.26

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, 43.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6 out of 10 among them, against 1.1 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 193 pupils in a capacity of 208, leaving 15 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 does the daily timetable look like for a Year 6 student? How does the school plan to maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
