Uplowman Church of England Primary School
Tiverton, EX16 7DR · Devon · primary school
30th 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 3,689 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.9/10 among them, against 8.4/10 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 40% | 3.62 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 82.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.9 out of 10 among them, against 8.4 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 87 pupils in a building with 70 places, meaning it is over capacity by 17. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 17 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is available for the 12.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How does the school maintain its Good rating while operating above its physical limits?
