About Broadhembury Church of England Primary School

Broadhembury Church of England Primary School was rated Inadequate by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a significant drop from the Good rating it held in its previous inspection back in 2012. The school, which serves just 21 pupils in East Devon, received the lowest possible mark of 4 for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. Personal development was rated Requires improvement. This is a small, rural primary with a Church of England character, and the inspection report, published in September 2024, paints a picture of a school that has struggled across the board. With only 21 children on roll against a capacity of 56, it is operating at well under half its potential size, which may be a factor in the challenges it faces. The school is heavily oversubscribed relative to its tiny intake, with two first-preference applications for its two available places in the 2025/26 admissions round, but that reflects the local area's limited options rather than current performance.
