Check the area around this school
38th of 53 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset we can score, 63 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 1,528 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.9/10 among them, against 2.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Bathampton Primary School
Overview
Bathampton Primary School is described as a place where pupils are "happy and safe" and "enjoy learning." Leaders have established a "detailed and carefully sequenced curriculum" that clearly defines the knowledge and skills pupils should acquire. The report highlights a positive culture where staff are supportive, and pupils demonstrate respect and responsibility.
Strengths
- Pupils attend regularly and value the wide range of lunchtime and after-school clubs.
- Teachers effectively check if pupils can recall prior learning before introducing new knowledge.
- Staff have "secure" knowledge of phonics, helping pupils read with increasing speed and accuracy.
- Individual targets for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) break curriculum content into "small, achievable steps."
- Staff appreciate leaders’ consideration of their workload and well-being, feeling "empowered" in their roles.
Areas to improve
- The role of subject leader is "not as well developed for some foundation subjects," meaning they do not support teachers to quickly identify and close gaps in pupils’ knowledge sufficiently well.
- Leaders need to ensure subject leaders have the skills and knowledge to ensure pupils remember the curriculum’s core content across all subjects.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," noting that staff receive regular training, know how to report concerns, and that referrals to external agencies are made in a timely manner.
