About Bovey Tracey Academy

Bovey Tracey Academy, a state primary in Teignbridge, Devon, sits below the local authority average on the headline metric for its type. The Devon LA average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 57, but the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated its overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, a grade that places it among the lower-performing schools in a county with 309 primary schools and only five rated Outstanding. The school’s Progress 8 data is not available in the public record, so it is not possible to compare directly against the LA average for that measure. However, the Ofsted breakdown shows a mixed picture: personal development and behaviour and attitudes were both judged Good, while quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management all scored Requires Improvement. This suggests the school is stronger on pastoral care and pupil conduct than on academic delivery, which may be a key consideration for parents weighing up its overall offer.
