Berrow Primary Church Academy
Burnham-on-Sea, TA8 2LJ · Somerset · primary school
144th of 156 primary schools in Somerset we can score, 219 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 3,363 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 2.0/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.04 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. The school was rated Inadequate by Ofsted in April 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4 out of 10 among them, against 2.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Calm club, Forest school, and gardening club. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 143 pupils in a building with 210 places, leaving 67 spare spots. This means 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 plan to improve teaching quality following the recent Inadequate rating? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard in core subjects? How do the Forest school and gardening clubs integrate into the daily curriculum?
