About Ashburton Primary School

Ashburton Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly above the Devon local authority average, but the gap is narrow. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 59%, compared with the LA average of 57%. That puts the school in the middle of the pack locally — it ranks 119th out of 309 primary schools in Devon, and 26th out of 43 in Teignbridge. Where it really stands out is in maths: 72% of pupils hit the expected standard, and the average scaled score of 106 is solid. Reading and writing both also hit 69% and 72% respectively at expected level. The school is not a high-flyer in terms of the top end — only 14% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects — but it delivers consistent, above-average outcomes for a typical primary in the area.
