About St Gabriel's CofE Primary School

St Gabriel's CofE Primary School in Exeter was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school's most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths at the expected standard: 70% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits comfortably above the Devon local authority average of 57%, placing St Gabriel's 4th out of 17 primary schools within Exeter itself and 49th out of 309 similar schools across the whole county. The school also ranks in the top 50% nationally for this measure, sitting at the 32nd percentile. While the overall picture is positive, the data also shows that only 13% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three subjects, suggesting that while most children are meeting expectations, fewer are exceeding them.
