Bathford Church School
Bath, BA1 7UB · Bath and North East Somerset · primary school
11th 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 2,805 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5/10 among them, against 7.1/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 62% | 4.35 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 38% | 2.72 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5 out of 10 among them, against 7.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. With 139 pupils in a school with 210 places, there are 71 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How do class sizes affect individual attention in the classroom?
