About Mount Street Primary School

Mount Street Primary School in Plymouth has turned a corner, earning a Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection in January 2023. This is a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2018, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. The inspection report awarded Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The early years provision also received a Good rating. On the academic front, the school’s most telling metric is its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year: 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is five percentage points above the Plymouth local authority average of 63%, placing Mount Street 28th out of 65 primary schools in the area. While only 5% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three subjects, the school’s reading and maths average scaled scores of 106 and 103 respectively suggest solid foundations.
