About Lynton Church of England Primary School

Lynton Church of England Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 metric sits above the Devon local authority average for its school type, with 63% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the LA average of 57%. That six-point gap is modest but meaningful, placing the school in the top half of primary schools nationally (around the 50th percentile) and 14th out of 31 schools in North Devon. Within Devon’s 309 primary schools, it ranks 110th, so it’s comfortably above the middle of the pack. The school’s reading and maths average scores — 106 and 104 respectively — both exceed the national benchmark of 100, and a notably higher proportion of pupils hit the higher standard in reading (31%) than in maths (19%). No pupils reached the higher standard in writing, which tempers the overall picture, but the core message is clear: this is a solidly performing village primary that outpaces the typical Devon state school on the key combined measure.
