About Ilfracombe Church of England Junior School
Ilfracombe Church of England Junior School's headline KS2 results sit noticeably below the Devon local authority average, which is a key point for parents weighing up their options. The school's combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment sits at 40%, compared with a county average of 57% for primary schools. That 17-point gap places the school in the bottom half of Devon primaries, ranked 211th out of 309. In North Devon specifically, it ranks 31st out of 31 schools, putting it at the bottom of its immediate local area. The school's score of 40 on the KS2 reading, writing and maths expected metric places it in the bottom 50% nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading scores are a relative strength, with 65% of pupils reaching the expected standard and 21% achieving the higher standard, while maths sits at 53% expected and 13% higher. Writing is the weakest area, with just 51% at expected and only 1% at the higher level.
