About Diptford Parochial Church of England Primary School

Diptford Parochial Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in November 2024, with all individual categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision — each judged Good. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 45 per cent. That figure is notably below the Devon local authority average of 57 per cent, placing Diptford in the bottom half of primary schools within the South Hams district, where it ranks 28th out of 35 schools. The school’s national percentile of roughly 85 suggests that, while the combined measure is modest, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: reading performance is a relative strength, with 82 per cent of pupils reaching the expected level and 45 per cent achieving a higher standard.
