The Academy received its most recent Ofsted report in 2023, where it was graded 'Good' in all categories.

The school's vision and ethos statement states that it aims to build long-lasting relationships with pupils and their families, being at the heart of the community.

Its shared aim is communicated as building the foundations for children's current and future happiness and success.

Pupils at Dartmouth Academy benefit from close links with community groups, such as the Royal Dart Yacht Club, the Flavel Art Centre and the Dart Food Festival.

From September 2021, it will be a Devon Music Hub for local primary schools.
