Churchfield Church School
Highbridge, TA9 3JF · Somerset · primary school
147th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.7/10 against 1,622 of them, against 1.7/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 29.0 · 2 | 40% | 0.10 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 35% | 0.03 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 29.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% 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 (1.7 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026.
Beyond the classroom. The school offers a choir. It has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 437 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 17. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific strategies are used to close the gap between the 29.0% expected standard and the national median? How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity?
