Plymtree Church of England Primary School
About Plymtree Church of England Primary School
Plymtree Church of England Primary School’s headline metrics sit notably below the Devon local authority average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (KS2) is 57 per cent, but at Plymtree that figure drops to just 22 per cent. This is a significant gap, and it places the school 236th out of 309 primary schools in the county. Its ranking within East Devon is similarly stark: 41st out of 44 schools, putting it in the bottom tier locally. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available in the data, but the raw attainment figures suggest that, on average, children here are not reaching the same academic benchmarks as their peers across Devon. That said, the school is small — just 54 pupils against a capacity of 105 — so individual cohort results can fluctuate more than in larger schools, and the picture may be less representative than it first appears.
