Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
1.6/10 Well below average

81st of 90 primary schools in Bristol, City of we can score, 102 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.0/10 against 1,666 of them, against 2.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 49.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.0 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers a breakfast club and an after-school club, and takes the whole school on a trip to Avon Valley.

Getting in. There are 180 pupils in a school with 240 places, leaving 60 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 below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the recent inspection report describe the quality of teaching in the classroom?
