This much smaller-than-average-sized primary school serves its local area. Almost all pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is below average. A below average percentage of pupils are disabled or have special educational needs. Pupils’ special educational needs include specific and moderate learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorder. With the exception of those in Year 2, pupils, including those in the Reception Year, are taught in classes covering two age groups. The school meets the current government floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. Since November 2011, the school has been part of the Totnes Federation of Village Schools. This is a group of six schools who has a single governing body. The federation has a co-leadership structure, within which each school has its own headteacher. Since the time of the previous inspection, the school has experienced a period of turbulence caused by the unavoidable long-term absence of two of the five teaching staff. At the time of this inspection, stability of staffing had been regained.
