Ugborough Primary School

Ivybridge, PL21 0NJ · Devon · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
4.2/10 Broadly average

152nd of 280 primary schools in Devon we can score, 310 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 3,590 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 3.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 30.0 · 3 40% 0.12
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 20.0 · 92 25% 2.30

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, 30.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 20.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9 out of 10 among them, against 3.7 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a gardening club, play football, and participate in gym and dance, alongside art and craft sessions. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 117 pupils in a building with 105 places, meaning it is over capacity by 12. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity with 12 extra pupils? What specific support is offered to help pupils bridge the gap between the 30.0% expected standard and the national median of 64%? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum for those who attend?
