About Upottery Primary School

Upottery Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024, with every assessed category — quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management — all judged Good. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year, where every single pupil (100%) reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is a striking 43 percentage points above the Devon local authority average of 57%, and it places Upottery 2nd out of 44 primary schools in East Devon, putting it in the top 5% nationally. The school also performed strongly at the higher standard: 57% of pupils achieved a higher score in reading, 43% in maths, and 14% in writing. Average scaled scores of 109 in both reading and maths confirm solid, above-average attainment across the board.
