About Buckland Brewer Primary School

Buckland Brewer Primary School is a primary school in Bideford, Devon, classified by the DfE as a foundation school. Around 56 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Requires improvement' judgement from Ofsted. 33% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 34.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 100 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104).
