Check the area around this school
120th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.0/10 against 1,064 of them, against 4.5/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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 Teignmouth Primary School
Overview
Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, fostering an environment where students "enjoy coming to school" and "love to learn." The school provides a high-quality education with a strong focus on reading, resulting in confident, fluent readers and positive behaviour.
Strengths
- Reading is placed "at the centre of the curriculum," with an "unwavering approach" ensuring pupils become confident and fluent.
- Pupils model "respect, responsibility and honesty" within a consistent behaviour policy, and bullying is "very uncommon."
- High-quality outdoor education strengthens science knowledge and supports broader personal development.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "thrive" through skilful scaffolding and curriculum adaptations.
- Staff feel well supported by leaders through professional development and actions to reduce workload.
Areas to improve
- Assessment systems beyond English and mathematics are not developed well enough, meaning it is unclear what pupils remember in the long term.
- The early years foundation stage curriculum is not implemented consistently, with staff sometimes failing to interact well enough to extend learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust policies, vigilant staff, and thorough checks ensuring pupils are safe.
