Check the area around this school
38th of 279 primary schools in Devon we can score, 309 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 — 7.8/10 against 4,208 of them, against 7.6/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 41% | 2.98 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 26% | 2.06 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Strengths
- Pupils display a “mature understanding of equalities” and hold “strong and accurate views of right and wrong,” contributing to a culture where bullying is not tolerated.
- The curriculum is “ambitious for all pupils,” with “carefully thought-out links between subjects” that strengthen knowledge and prepare learners for secondary school.

Areas to improve

Safeguarding
