Whipton Barton Federation in Exeter celebrates outstanding results, exceeding national and regional standards in key subjects
In 2024, 61% was the national average for reading, writing, and maths. Whipton Barton students scored even higher, with 57% in Devon. They’re really shining, especially in core subjects. Their results are three times better than the Devon average.
Eighteen percent of students are hitting higher standards in these subjects. That’s way above the 6% in Devon and 8% in England. The school also scored above average in reading and maths, which is fantastic news.
They ranked tenth out of 393 schools in Devon for helping disadvantaged pupils. This is important because these students often struggle more than others. Disadvantaged pupils are those who’ve had free school meals or are in care.
Both the infant and junior schools in the federation are part of the Ted Wragg Trust. They received great feedback from Ofsted inspectors. The inspectors praised how well children thrive in early years.
They also highlighted that leaders and staff have high expectations for all students, including those with special needs. The curriculum is broad and ambitious, starting strong in early years.
Louise Moretta, the executive headteacher, expressed her delight. She’s proud that the school is outperforming both Devon and national averages. She emphasized the success of disadvantaged pupils, showcasing their resilience.
Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust, congratulated everyone at Whipton Barton. She called it a beacon of success in the county, where curiosity and achievement are key.
