About Curledge Street Academy

Curledge Street Academy in Torbay was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a clear step up from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s leadership and management were also judged Good. For a more detailed picture of academic outcomes, the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard is the most informative metric: 63% of pupils achieved this benchmark. That sits just above the Torbay local authority average of 61%, placing the school 14th out of 29 primary schools in the area. While this is a solid, middle-of-the-pack result, the school’s ranking nationally places it around the 49th percentile, meaning it performs broadly in line with the national median. The data suggests a school that is reliably delivering expected progress for most children, without the standout results of the top three local primaries.
