About Clyst Hydon Primary School

Clyst Hydon Primary School is a small state primary in the Devon local authority, serving just 28 pupils aged 4 to 11. That makes it one of the tiniest schools in a county with 309 primary schools in total. In the local rankings of Devon primaries, the top spots are held by Stockland Church of England Primary Academy and Upottery Primary School, both with perfect scores, followed closely by Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School. Clyst Hydon itself is not among those top-ranked peers, but it sits in a competitive landscape where only five schools in the entire authority have earned an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The nearest Outstanding school is The Duchy School Bradninch, 4.5 kilometres away. For families in the East Devon village, Clyst Hydon offers a genuinely intimate setting, with a school capacity of 70 places and current pupil numbers well below that, meaning class sizes are very small indeed.
