About Membury Primary Academy

Membury Primary Academy is a small state primary school in East Devon, within the Devon local authority. It is one of 309 primary schools in the county, and among its top-ranked local peers are Stockland Church of England Primary Academy, Upottery Primary School, and Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School. With just 10 pupils on roll against a capacity of 41, Membury is a genuinely intimate setting where every child is known well. The school is mixed, non-religious, and serves children from age 3 to 11. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in July 2025, rated the school Good across all graded areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The previous inspection in 2015 also rated overall effectiveness as Good, so the school has maintained a consistent standard over time. Parents are overwhelmingly positive: 100% of those who responded to the Parent View survey would recommend the school, and 92% strongly agreed that their child feels safe there.
