About Bridestowe Primary School

Bridestowe Primary School is a small state primary in West Devon that presents a mixed picture when compared against the Devon local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 57 per cent, yet Bridestowe recorded 0 per cent in this metric for the 2023/24 academic year. This is a stark contrast and places the school at the very bottom of its local authority ranking — 241st out of 309 similar schools in Devon. However, looking at individual subjects tells a more nuanced story. In reading, 80 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, well above the national benchmark, and 30 per cent achieved a higher standard. Maths was weaker, with 60 per cent reaching the expected level and only 10 per cent hitting the higher threshold. Writing results were notably low, with 0 per cent meeting the expected standard, which heavily dragged down the combined figure.
