Check the area around this school
114th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 1,615 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4/10 among them, against 4.7/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Stokeinteignhead School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils become “curious, determined, resourceful and respectful characters” through a curriculum that embeds these qualities into daily life. Leaders have designed an “ambitious range of content” across subjects, with reading remaining “at the heart of the curriculum” to foster lifelong readers. The inspection notes a “strong culture of safeguarding” and a harmonious environment where staff feel supported and work together for pupils’ benefit.
Strengths
- Pupils are encouraged to engage with the local community and learn to “respect difference” through visits from ‘cultural champions’.
- The curriculum is well-designed, with subject leaders reflecting regularly on impact to drive “ongoing improvement”.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) “do well” and benefit from “comprehensive support” advised by expert leaders.
- Staff are “wholly positive” about their experience, supported by leadership development and mindful workload management.
- Early help is used proactively to support children and families, with staff being “highly vigilant” in reporting concerns.
Areas to improve
- Support for pupils struggling with reading does not focus sharply enough on gaps in phonics knowledge; leaders should ensure these pupils receive “precisely focused support”.
- In some subjects, assessment approaches do not yet help pupils “embed their knowledge as well as it could”; leaders should continue reviewing teachers’ use of assessment.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring staff follow clear processes and maintain a culture where they recognise that risks “could happen here”.
