Check the area around this school
240th 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 — 3.2/10 against 2,594 of them, against 3.0/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 5 | 35% | 0.18 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Two Moors Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 4.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.0 out of 10 against all schools). The most recent inspection took place in March 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can learn guitar, drums, keyboard, ukulele, and flute, and the school organises trips to the Isle of Wight and Dartmoor.
Getting in
The published school roll is 358 pupils against a stated capacity of 420. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Two Moors Primary School
Overview
Two Moors Primary School offers a "friendly" environment where pupils feel "valued and safe" and benefit from a "comprehensive and ambitious programme" for personal development. While the early years and personal development are strong, the report identifies that outcomes in reading, writing, and mathematics are "below national standards," with significant concerns regarding the progress of disadvantaged pupils and the precision of teaching adaptations.
Strengths
- Personal development is a "strong standard," with pupils developing "character, confidence and resilience" and a secure understanding of British values.
- The early years provision is effective, helping children develop essential language and number skills through "high-quality interactions."
- Pupils enjoy an "ambitious and interesting curriculum" beyond core subjects, gaining knowledge in history, science, and art.
- Behaviour is positive, with "clear routines" and a culture where bullying and discrimination are "not accepted."
- Staff know pupils well and respond quickly to concerns, ensuring pupils feel "valued and respected."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure additional funding for disadvantaged pupils is used to "effectively improve these pupils' achievement" by closely monitoring impact.
- Teaching of writing in key stage 2 needs to rapidly improve compositional skills, spelling, punctuation, and handwriting, particularly for disadvantaged pupils.
- Leaders should embed "precise adaptations" for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities to quickly overcome barriers to learning.
- The school’s attendance strategy must consistently improve attendance and reduce absence rates, especially for disadvantaged pupils.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
