About Dunsford Community Academy

Dunsford Community Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. In its 2022 ungraded inspection, the school was confirmed to have remained Good, and its leadership and management were also judged Good. The early years provision, however, stands out as Outstanding, a grade it has held since at least the previous inspection in 2009. The most telling academic metric for this small primary school is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths. In the 2023/24 academic year, 67% of pupils met the expected standard in all three subjects, comfortably above the Devon local authority average of 57%. This places the school 15th out of 43 primary schools in the Teignbridge area, putting it in the top half of its local peers.
