About Manor Primary School, Ivybridge

Manor Primary School in Ivybridge holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, a solid foundation for any family looking at primary options in South Hams. The school was previously rated Outstanding in 2016, so the change reflects a shift in the inspection framework rather than a dramatic decline. On the key academic measure for primary schools, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, Manor achieved 68% in the 2023/24 academic year. That is notably above the Devon local authority average of 57%, placing the school comfortably ahead of many of its peers. Broken down further, 81% of pupils hit the expected standard in reading, 73% in writing, and 70% in maths. At the higher standard, the picture is more mixed: 35% reached the higher level in reading, 30% in maths, but only 11% in writing, and just 3% across all three subjects. Nationally, Manor sits in the top 50% of primary schools, ranking 4,888th out of 13,686.
