About South Brent Primary School

South Brent Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections, the latest of which took place in 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score, where 56% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school just one percentage point below the Devon local authority average of 57%, a tight margin that suggests broadly typical attainment for the area. Within the South Hams district, the school ranks 23rd out of 35 primary schools on this measure, putting it in the bottom half of its immediate local peers. Nationally, it sits around the 67th percentile, meaning roughly a third of primary schools across England outperform it on this combined measure. The school’s Ofsted report notes that behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision are all Good, with leadership and management also rated Good.
