Against South West and Devon

Track: South West's middle 80% (10th to 90th percentile); L = South West median; D = Devon median, shown when 10 or more of its schools have a figure; the dot is this school.

South West state schools in Close Knit with a published figure, same phase (primary or secondary) and year; the borough median only when 10 or more of its schools have one. 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles with linear interpolation (PostgreSQL percentile_cont).

Colour only where lower or higher is clearly better (absence: lower): blue = better than the South West median, red = in South West's worst 10%.

Money: Compared only with academies' accounts (AAR), same academic year.

Getting in

Got in = first-choice families offered a place on national offer day ÷ families who put the school first. Putting a school first gives no priority: siblings and distance decide.

First-choice applications not offered a place on national offer day: 100 × (1 − first-preference offers ÷ first preferences). Applications count preferences, not children; places can still be offered from waiting lists after offer day.

Source: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers.

Last distance offered: the straight line from the school to the furthest child offered a place under the distance rule. Not a catchment: it changes every year.

Inspections

GoodRequires improvementReport card

Dates are the day each inspection started: Jun 2026 Report card, lowest Needs attention · Jun 2022 Good · Jan 2014 Good · May 2009 Good · Jun 2006 Satisfactory. Each dot opens its Ofsted report. Report cards and 2024–25 inspections have no overall grade: the badge takes the lowest area's colour.

Report-card areas graded Exceptional or Strong standard, and Needs attention or Urgent improvement, out of the areas graded; Expected standard counts as neither. Counted from Ofsted's grades, never scored from the report text.

Pupils

Full = pupils on roll ÷ the school's capacity (1,300 places), from Get Information about Schools.

Pupil profile and absence: DfE school census and pupil absence (Compare school and college performance). Free school meals = eligible at any time in the past 6 years; persistently absent = missed 10% or more of sessions. Withheld = suppressed by DfE.

Parent View

Survey period 4 Sep 2023 to 2 Sep 2024, as at 2 Sep 2024. Source: Ofsted Parent View management information, OGL v3.0 (dataset). The school's own survey page is under Visit & links.

Ofsted changed the survey on 10 Nov 2025. The card shows the newest survey with 10 or more responses; an earlier survey is labelled and never mixed with the current one.

Share of the parents who answered, from Ofsted's published percentages: agree = strongly agree + agree; yes/no and overall-view questions show the share answering Yes or Positive. Where a question does not apply to every parent (Not applicable, I have not raised any concerns), agree is the share of the parents it applies to: strongly agree + agree divided by 100% minus that answer; the card says how many it did not apply to. Don't know stays in. Ofsted publishes a school only with 10 or more submissions. The questions changed on 10 November 2025: the card shows the current survey when the school has one, else the earlier survey (one academic year of submissions, the latest with 10 or more), never both.

Workforce

School workforce census, 2025/26. Staff in FTE (full-time equivalent), rounded to 1 decimal on the card. As published: teachers 69.71, leadership 10.27, teaching assistants 18.22, support staff incl. TAs 44.85, whole workforce 114.56 (128 people), 77 teachers by headcount.

Other support = support staff incl. TAs minus teaching assistants.

Per adult counts teachers, TAs and other classroom support; excludes admin staff.

• DfE: FTE pupils (January census) ÷ FTE teachers (November census)
• DfE: FTE pupils ÷ FTE teachers, teaching assistants, other school support staff and technicians; administrative, auxiliary and business staff are not counted
• Teachers in leadership posts: head, deputy and assistant heads

Financials

Academy accounts (AAR) · September 2024 to August 2025.

Published total ÷ FTE pupils in the same return, to the nearest pound; income and spend per pupil are left out when the return covers less than 12 months.

CFR (maintained schools, April–March) and AAR (academies, September–August) are different accounts and years: do not compare a maintained school with an academy.

Destinations

Students who finished the stage in the cohort year, followed through the next year: sustained = at least six months in education, an apprenticeship or employment
