About Sampford Peverell Church of England Primary School

Sampford Peverell Church of England Primary School is a primary school in Tiverton, Devon, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 121 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. 50% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 19.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Sampford Peverell Church of England Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 8 Reception places. In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.27 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 2.9%. There are about 21.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 7% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Sampford Peverell Church of England Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
