About Stokeinteignhead School

Stokeinteignhead School has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, the school was rated Good overall, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all landing at Good. That’s a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when the school was judged to require improvement across the board. The most telling exam metric comes from Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year: 73% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well above the Devon local authority average of 57%, placing the school in the top 25% nationally for this measure. For a small primary with just over a hundred pupils, that’s a strong signal that academic standards have not only recovered but are now comfortably ahead of the local norm.

Digging into the detail, the school’s strengths are clearest in maths. 87% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, and 47% achieved the higher standard — a notably high proportion. Reading also performed well, with 73% at expected and 47% at the higher level. Writing was slightly lower, with 80% at expected and just 7% at the higher standard, which suggests there may be room to stretch the most able writers. The average scaled scores were 108 in maths and 107 in reading, both above the national benchmark of 100. Progress scores aren’t available in the data, so it’s hard to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the raw outcomes are solid. In the Teignbridge local authority, the school ranks 7th out of 43 primaries, and sits 38th out of 309 across the wider Devon area. It’s not the very top of the pile, but it’s comfortably in the upper tier.

The school is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form. It’s oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 20 applications for 16 places, with all 16 first-preference offers accepted. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.25, so families living close to the school in Teignbridge will want to be strategic about their application. Facilities are generous for a school of this size — there’s a forest school, sensory room, art studios, music rooms, a library, and an ICT suite. Sports include football, netball, athletics, gymnastics, tennis and cross country, and clubs range from gardening and eco club to film club and coding. The school also has dedicated SEND provision for dyslexia, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, and social, emotional and mental health support. It’s a good fit for families who want strong academic outcomes in a small, community-focused village school with a broad extracurricular offer.
