About Boasley Cross Community Primary School

Boasley Cross Community Primary School is a small state primary in West Devon, within the Devon local authority, and it sits among 309 primary schools in the area. In terms of its local peers, the top-ranked schools nearby include Stockland Church of England Primary Academy, Upottery Primary School, and Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School, all of which achieve the highest ranking scores. Boasley Cross itself is a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 2 to 11, with a current roll of just 41 pupils against a capacity of 70, making it one of the smaller primaries in the region. The school has a nursery provision, which is a practical advantage for local families with younger children. Headteacher Tom Lumby leads the school, which has a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 5.7%, suggesting a fairly mixed catchment. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections.
