About Awliscombe Church of England Primary School

Awliscombe Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained since its previous inspection a decade earlier. However, the inspection report reveals a more nuanced picture: while the school is Good overall and across most individual categories, its early years provision was judged as Requires improvement. The most telling academic metric for this small primary in East Devon is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score. Just 44% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, which is notably below the Devon local authority average of 57%. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 11,807th out of 13,686 schools, and 188th out of 309 similar schools within the local authority.
