About Monkerton Community Primary School

Monkerton Community Primary School sits in Exeter, part of the Devon local authority, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall. That puts it in the majority of Devon primaries — only five out of 309 schools in the county hold an Outstanding rating. But the detail beneath that Good headline is worth noting. The school scored Outstanding in four of the five sub-categories: early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. The only area judged Good was quality of education. Compared with the Devon primary average for Key Stage 2, which sits at 57% achieving the expected standard, Monkerton’s own KS2 results are not published in this data, so a direct academic comparison isn’t possible. However, the inspection breakdown suggests a school that is particularly strong on pastoral care and pupil conduct, even if academic outcomes haven’t yet reached the same exceptional level.
