About Littleham Church of England Primary School

Littleham Church of England Primary School sits in a difficult position compared with other primary schools across Devon. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 57, but Littleham’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated the school Inadequate overall, with leadership and management and quality of education both judged Inadequate, and behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision all marked as Requires improvement. That puts it well behind the 5 schools in the county rated Outstanding, and far from the top-performing peers like Stockland Church of England Primary Academy and Upottery Primary School, which both score 100 on the local ranking. The school’s previous inspection in 2019 rated it Requires improvement, so the trajectory has moved in the wrong direction. With only 82 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is significantly under-enrolled, and a high proportion of its children — 67.6% — are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
