Schools in Devon
425 schools across 58 towns
Based on the most recent published single-word Ofsted grades. Ofsted stopped issuing overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) in September 2024, so schools inspected more recently — under Ofsted’s report cards — may not have one. Figures cover the 172 of 425 schools here that have a published grade.
Devon has 425 schools across 58 towns — 308 primary, 38 secondary, educating around 104,363 pupils. 80% of schools with a published Ofsted grade are rated Good or Outstanding (138 of 172). There are currently 164 open teaching jobs in Devon. Browse schools by town, compare Ofsted ratings and exam results, and find teaching jobs across Devon.
