About Culmstock Primary School

Culmstock Primary School, a state primary in Mid Devon, sits slightly below the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. In the 2023/24 academic year, 50% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Devon LA average of 57%. That seven-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, at the 79th percentile. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading results are a clear strength: 75% of pupils met the expected standard, and 42% achieved a higher score — well above typical levels. The average reading score of 107 is notably strong. Maths tells a different story, with 50% at the expected standard and an average score of 100, exactly in line with the national benchmark. Writing sits between the two, with 67% reaching the expected standard but no pupils achieving the higher mark. So while the combined headline lags behind the LA average, the school’s reading performance stands out as a genuine bright spot.
