Check the area around this school
44th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,547 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8/10 among them, against 2.1/10 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 40% | 0.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School
Overview
Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes a “warm and caring environment” where pupils feel safe, happy, and are keen to share ideas. Leaders have successfully prioritised early reading, phonics, and mathematics, ensuring pupils build secure knowledge over time.
Strengths
- Staff create a supportive atmosphere where pupils “live up to” high expectations and show “tolerance and respect to all.”
- Reading is “at the heart of the curriculum,” with well-trained staff using timely interventions to support those who struggle.
- The curriculum is “well designed,” helping pupils develop a “secure understanding of number” and confidence in reciting times tables.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those speaking English as an additional language are “supported well” through adapted teaching.
- The school has “prioritised attendance,” working effectively with external agencies to support families and reduce persistent absence.
Areas to improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, teaching does not “routinely check what pupils have learned and understood,” leading to “gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
- Assessment in these subjects is not developed well enough, meaning staff lack an “accurate understanding of what pupils know and remember.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
