About Landkey Community Primary Academy

Landkey Community Primary Academy is a primary school in Barnstaple, Devon, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 186 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. 57% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 12.0 percentage points compared with the previous 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 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Landkey Community Primary Academy their first choice was offered one of its 19 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.6%. There are about 18.0 pupils per teacher. Landkey Community Primary Academy 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
