School overview

Tedburn St Mary School is a primary school serving Exeter, Devon, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 90 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated Tedburn St Mary School 'Good'. 82% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 10.0 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 among the top 4% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 111 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 24% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Tedburn St Mary School their first choice was offered one of its 12 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 2.8%. There are about 20.5 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 8% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
