Winkleigh Primary School
Winkleigh, EX19 8JQ · Devon · primary school
103rd 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 — 5.2/10 against 3,545 of them, against 5.1/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.01 |
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, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend trips to London, including a residential, a West End show, and a visit to parliament, as well as Harry Potter World, the London Eye, a surf residential, RHS Rosemoor, and The Eden Project.
Getting in. The school has 224 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 14. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine for the 14 pupils over the stated capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? How does the school engage families in the planning of its extensive residential trips?
