Teign School
Newton Abbot, TQ12 3JG · Devon · secondary school
29th of 40 secondary schools in Devon we can score, 41 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 941 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6/10 among them, against 3.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 39.9 · 40 | 30% | 1.20 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.43 · 19 | 25% | 0.48 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.7 · 44 | 10% | 0.44 |
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, 39.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.7, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.43 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.6 out of 10 among them, against 3.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Your Future Story and Running Clubs, or participate in sports including athletics, badminton, BMX, cheerleading, cricket, fencing, football, and gymnastics. The school also organises trips to Ten Tors.
Getting in. The school has 1077 pupils in a capacity of 1353, leaving 276 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 falling behind in English and maths? What specific steps are taken to address the negative Progress 8 score? How do teachers manage class sizes given the significant number of spare places?
