Cotham Gardens Primary School
Bristol, BS6 6AL · Bristol, City of · primary school
77th of 90 primary schools in Bristol, City of we can score, 102 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 3,364 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 1.9/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 62% | 1.48 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2 out of 10 among them, against 1.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils play tennis, netball, basketball, football, and cricket. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. With 412 pupils in a school with 630 places, there are 218 spare places. 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 do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What provision exists for children who arrive late or leave early due to the lack of wraparound care? How does the curriculum adapt to the smaller class sizes resulting from the current intake?
