Check the area around this school
123rd 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 the 3,621 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 among 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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 Webber's Church of England Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection found that aspects of the school’s work “may not be as strong as at the time of the previous inspection,” triggering a future graded inspection. Despite this, the school remains a “happy school with a strong sense of community” where pupils feel safe and behave well.
Strengths
- Pupils are polite, kind, and engage well in their work, with older pupils acting as positive role models.
- The mathematics and reading curriculums are effective, helping pupils secure important knowledge and build reading fluency.
- Staff have an accurate understanding of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), providing tailored support to help them succeed.
- The school offers a wide range of after-school clubs and sports competitions, ensuring all pupils can develop their talents.
- Staff feel supported by leaders and are confident in the school’s clear sense of direction.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, staff lack the subject knowledge to teach the curriculum as intended, meaning pupils do not learn key knowledge.
- Assessment processes in some subjects fail to accurately identify gaps in pupils’ knowledge, leaving misconceptions unaddressed.
- Too many pupils struggle to present written work clearly, with grammatical and spelling errors often unchecked.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
