About Otterton Church of England Primary School

Otterton Church of England Primary School sits at the very bottom of the local authority rankings for primary schools in Devon, a position that stands in stark contrast to the LA average. The school's KS2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that zero per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Devon average of 57 per cent. This places Otterton 242nd out of 309 primary schools in the county, and in the bottom 50 nationally. The picture is particularly stark in maths, where the average scaled score was just 94, well below the national benchmark of 100. Reading fared better, with an average score of 102 and 50 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard, but writing was a struggle, with only 17 per cent achieving that level. The school's ranking score of zero reflects these outcomes, making it one of the weakest performers in the South West region.
