About Chudleigh Knighton Church of England Primary School

Chudleigh Knighton Church of England Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 metric sits well above the Devon local authority average for primary schools. The school achieved 69% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a county average of 57%. That 12-point gap places it comfortably ahead of the typical Devon primary, and the school ranks 54th out of 309 similar schools in the authority. Its ranking score of 69 puts it in the top 50% nationally, and within the Teignbridge area it sits 12th out of 43 primaries. The school is also oversubscribed, with 31 applications for 13 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 12 of those 13 offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests local parents recognise the school’s strong academic standing.
