About Rockbeare Church of England Primary School and Pre-School

Rockbeare Church of England Primary School and Pre-School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 46% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This sits below the Devon local authority average of 57% for the same measure. However, the school’s performance is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard, and in writing that figure rose to 77%. Maths was the weaker area, with 54% hitting the expected mark. The average scaled scores tell a similar story: 104 in reading, 99 in maths. The school ranks 34th out of 44 primary schools in East Devon on this combined measure, placing it in the bottom half of the local authority.
