About Holywell Church of England School
Holywell Church of England School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in November 2022 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric for this small primary in North Devon is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 65% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits comfortably above the Devon local authority average of 57% for the same measure, placing the school 10th out of 31 primary schools in the North Devon area and in the top 50% nationally. Reading is a particular strength, with 94% of pupils reaching the expected standard and 41% achieving the higher standard, while maths also performed well, with an average scaled score of 106 and 82% meeting expectations.
