About Lady Seaward's Church of England Primary School

Lady Seaward's Church of England Primary School in East Devon holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, though the school's academic story is more nuanced than that single grade suggests. The inspection judged personal development as Outstanding, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management were all rated Good. This represents a change from the school's previous inspection in 2016, when it was rated Outstanding overall. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 75% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That figure places the school comfortably above the Devon local authority average of 57%, and ranks it 6th out of 44 primary schools in East Devon, putting it in the top 25% nationally. The school's combined score of 75 on this measure reflects solid, above-average performance for a small village primary.
