Below is a summary of the school’s performance in the 2018 statutory assessments. As Shebbear is a small school (normal class size is 10 pupils) it does mean that the percentage figures quoted need to be interpreted carefully. The difference in performance of just one pupil can, as an example, mean the school appears well above the national average or equally well below. Details of the Year 2 phonics retake assessments are not included. The numbers needing to retake the assessment were so low, there is a risk of identifying individual children.
