School Description

Okehampton Primary School and Foundation Unit is a much larger-than-average sized primary school. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium (extra government funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, children who are looked after by the local authority and the children of service families) is average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported through school action is slightly higher than average. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is average.

“An excellent school”

unlock
"> I have 2 children at Okehampton Primary School, one in year 3 and one in year 5. I have always found teachers to be of an excellent standard, my children have made fantastic progress year on year and really enjoy school life. I have always found teachers, including the head, approachable and available to discuss any issues if the need ever arises. The current head teacher is a strong leader who has really transformed the school, taking it from 'special measures' 6 years ago to being a 'good' Ofstead reviewed school currently. The school offers a great range of after school clubs in sports, arts and much more. Interventions are provided for children who are having difficulties as well as children who are excelling wither the regular 'Gifted and Talented' workshops. Overall, I am a happy parent with happy children who I believe attend a great school.
“Praise for Okehampton Primary School”

"> My little girl started in the school nursery and is now in Yr 1. I love the way the school communicates with me. My daughter is achieving, both academically and socially. She is starting to partake in after school clubs, equally these are run very professionally. I couldn't ask for more.
“Happy parent”

"> Fab school. My children love it. Staff are easy to talk to and head Mrs Fox is always able to answer any queries. The younger children always say the Head knows all their names without them having to tell her.
“Needs improving”

"> Not great. Results don't seem correct in comparison to early tests at secondary school. Poor communication skills from staff. In my opinion, it's time for head to move on so a fresh start for school.
