Brent Knoll Church of England Primary School
Highbridge, TA9 4EQ · Somerset · primary school
43rd 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 4,351 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.4/10 among them, against 6.0/10 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 | 82.0 · 90 | 40% | 3.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.

Since 0.0% of pupils reached the higher standard, what specific strategies are used to stretch high-achieving students? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the current oversubscription?
