Chewton Mendip Church of England VA Primary School
Radstock, BA3 4LL · Somerset · primary school
72nd 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 945 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 4.4/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0 out of 10 among them, against 4.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join lunchtime and after-school art clubs, participate in Art Week and an exhibition, attend Sports Day, and visit Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 86 pupils in a building with 150 places, leaving 64 spare places. 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 support pupils who fall below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the small class size affect individual attention during lessons?
