About Goodleigh Church of England Primary School

Goodleigh Church of England Primary School sits in a quiet corner of North Devon, and its headline metrics tell a story that parents will want to weigh carefully. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 57 per cent, but Goodleigh’s figure is 42 per cent — a gap of 15 percentage points. That places the school 203rd out of 309 primary schools in Devon, and in the bottom half nationally. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 67 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in writing, which is respectable, while reading and maths lag behind at 58 per cent and 50 per cent respectively. Higher-attaining pupils are scarce — just 8 per cent reached the higher standard in maths, and none did so in writing or the combined measure. For families focused squarely on academic outcomes, these numbers are a clear signal to dig deeper.
