About Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School

Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School is a primary school in Totnes, Devon, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 85 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 91% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 3.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on 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 1% of primary schools in England.

Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 9 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.3%. There are about 17.0 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 9% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Berry Pomeroy Parochial CofE 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. 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.
