Woodbury Salterton Church of England Primary School

Exeter, EX5 1PP · Devon · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.3/10 Broadly average

147th 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 — 3.7/10 against 3,198 of them, against 3.9/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 67.0 · 57 40% 2.28
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 0.0 · 10 25% 0.26

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% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Forest School & Campcraft, participate in Devon Cricket and cross country, and attend events like O is for Opera and the PTFA Pantomime. Trips include the 3 Tors challenge, Lyme Regis, and Dartmoor. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 48 pupils in a building with 105 places, leaving 57 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to progress from the expected standard to the higher standard? What specific activities are included in the Forest School sessions? How does the small class size affect individual teaching time?
