About Exwick Heights Primary School

Exwick Heights Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a step down from the Outstanding grade it received in 2011. The inspection report shows a mixed picture: personal development was rated Outstanding, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and early years provision all came in at Good. On the academic front, the school’s most telling metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 82%. That figure is well above the Devon local authority average of 57% and places Exwick Heights first among 17 primary schools in Exeter, and in the top 10% nationally. The school also achieved a ranking score of 82, putting it in the top 10% of schools in the South West region.
