About Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School

Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The school’s most recent graded inspection, in 2017, awarded Good marks for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, early years provision, and behaviour and attitudes. But the real story lies in its academic outcomes. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 94% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — a figure that towers over the Devon local authority average of 57%. That performance places the school first among 35 primary schools in the South Hams district, and in the top 1% nationally. It also ranks third within Devon as a whole, out of 309 primary schools. For a small village school with just 85 pupils, these results are striking and suggest a focused, effective approach to core learning.
