Check the area around this school
35th of 56 primary schools in North Somerset we can score, 64 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 — 6.5/10 against 3,597 of them, against 6.1/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 13 | 35% | 0.45 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Churchill Church of England Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 4.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%.

The school was inspected in March 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.

What Ofsted said about Churchill Church of England Primary School
Overview
Churchill Church of England Primary School is described as a "welcoming and inclusive village school" where pupils feel safe and are "extremely well prepared for life in modern Britain." The report highlights a "strong standard" in inclusion and personal development, with an "expected standard" in achievement, attendance, behaviour, curriculum, early years, and leadership.
Strengths
- Inclusion is rated at a "strong standard," with staff providing "comprehensive, personalised support" that ensures disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs "achieve well."
- Personal development is also at a "strong standard," with pupils learning about "healthy relationships," "online safety," and "big questions" about life, fostering deep respect for different faiths and beliefs.
- Pupils exhibit "high levels of resilience and self-control," resulting in behaviour that is "calm and orderly" and where bullying is "rare and dealt with effectively."
- The curriculum is "ambitious and well-sequenced," helping pupils to "know more and remember more over time" and connect learning across different topics.
- Leaders demonstrate a "clear vision" and work closely with parents and external agencies, ensuring staff morale is high and pupils receive the support they need to thrive.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure that all activities in the early years are designed to "deepen children's learning and development," as some are currently not sufficiently focused.
- Leaders should reduce "remaining variability in curriculum implementation" so that teaching consistently strengthens pupils’ recall and connections across their learning.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns actively identified and managed.
