St Thomas Primary School
Exeter, EX2 9BB · Devon · primary school
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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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.

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.

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?
