West Hill Primary School
Ottery St Mary, EX11 1UQ · Devon · primary school
43rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.5/10 against 1,721 of them, against 9.7/10 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 | 91.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.92 |
| Ofsted | 8 | 35% | 0.26 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 25.0 · 96 | 25% | 2.40 |
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, 91.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 25.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 216 pupils in a capacity of 218 places, leaving only 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new admissions? Since the inspection was recent, what specific improvements have been made since the last review? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects?
