Best primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset

53 of 65 primary schools ranked by Met expected standard (RWM) · all Bath and North East Somerset schools · secondary schools

Applying in Bath and North East Somerset

Knowing which school is best is only half of it — these are the deadlines that decide whether you can apply at all.

Rankings compare published results. They do not tell you which school your child will get into — that depends on where you live, sibling and faith priority, and how many people apply this year. Ask below, or check the Bath and North East Somerset admission criteria.
