Check the area around this school
75th of 82 primary schools in South Gloucestershire we can score, 93 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 3,670 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4/10 among them, against 3.1/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Cadbury Heath Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 3.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4 out of 10 among them, against 3.1 out of 10 nationally. The school was inspected in June 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join Chess Club and Art Club, attend a breakfast club and an after-school club, and take part in trips to an evacuation centre, a camp out on the school field, and Le Chateau du Molay.
Getting in
The published school roll is 153 pupils against a stated capacity of 210. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Cadbury Heath Primary School
Overview
Cadbury Heath Primary School has undergone significant transformation since joining The Leaf Trust, with leaders addressing historical weaknesses "at pace." The report highlights a "positive direction of travel," noting that pupils' outcomes have risen considerably and that the school now meets expected standards in most areas. Parents and staff speak positively about the improvements, particularly regarding behaviour and teaching quality.
Strengths
- Early years provision is rated at a "strong standard," with staff using "expert subject knowledge" to deliver an "ambitious curriculum" and "enriching, stimulating activities."
- Pupils' attendance is at or above national averages, supported by "clear systems" and close partnership working with families to remove barriers.
- Behaviour has improved significantly following a revamped system; lessons are now "calm and purposeful" with "positive attitudes to learning."
- Teaching is "effective throughout the school," with particular strength in phonics and a focus on securing basics in English and mathematics.
- Leaders have strengthened support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they are "integrated fully into lessons" and receive precise, measurable targets.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the curriculum in "wider subjects" is ambitious and of consistently high quality so pupils develop detailed knowledge.
- Tasks must be "precisely matched" to what pupils already know, as some work is currently too complex, particularly for those with special educational needs.
- Leaders should further develop pupils’ behaviour to foster greater "self-discipline, resilience and dedication" across all aspects of school life.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
