Hatherleigh Community Primary School
About Hatherleigh Community Primary School
Hatherleigh Community Primary School’s headline metrics present a mixed picture when set against the Devon local authority average for primary schools. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 44%, which is notably below the LA average of 57%. This places Hatherleigh in the bottom 50 nationally and ranks it 191st out of 309 similar schools in Devon. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 75% of pupils met the expected standard, comfortably above the national benchmark, and 31% achieved the higher standard — a strong showing. Maths tells a different story, with 56% at the expected level and just 13% reaching the higher threshold. The school’s average scaled scores reflect this split: 104 in reading versus 101 in maths. So while the headline combined figure lags behind the county average, Hatherleigh’s reading outcomes are a clear strength.
