About Dartington Church of England Academy

Dartington Church of England Academy is a primary school in Totnes, Devon, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 289 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school.

On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 27% of primary schools nationally.

There are about 22.7 pupils per teacher. Dartington Church of England 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.
