About Bradley Barton Primary School and Nursery Unit

Bradley Barton Primary School and Nursery Unit sits in the bottom half of Devon primary schools when it comes to the key headline measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. Its 43% achieving that benchmark is notably below the local authority average of 57%, placing the school 201st out of 309 primaries in the county. That gap is worth paying attention to, though the school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023, suggests inspectors see more to the picture than just the raw SATs figure. The school has improved significantly since its previous graded inspection in 2012, when it was rated Requires Improvement across leadership and overall effectiveness. Under headteacher Tom Page, Bradley Barton now serves 462 pupils, which is above its stated capacity of 436, and it draws from the Teignbridge area in Devon.
