49th 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 4,107 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.7/10 among them, against 1.4/10 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 | 40.0 · 8 | 40% | 0.32 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Crockerne Church of England Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils enjoy being part of the ‘Crockerne community’ and demonstrate strong values such as independence and empathy. Leaders have driven rapid improvement through clear curriculum planning and a strong focus on reading, resulting in high-quality outcomes in subjects like art and design. The school is judged ‘Good’ across all categories, with effective safeguarding and positive behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, feel safe, and report that bullying is rare and resolved quickly by staff.
- Leaders have clarified curriculum content, enabling pupils to produce high-quality work and talk knowledgeably about topics.
- A new system for teaching early reading has been implemented well, helping pupils learn to read quickly.
- Staff are well-trained in phonics and effectively identify and address gaps in pupils’ knowledge.
- The early years provision creates an environment where children flourish and are well prepared for Year 1.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teaching does not check effectively what pupils can already do, meaning tasks do not always extend pupils’ thinking or deepen knowledge.
- The curriculum does not sufficiently deepen pupils’ knowledge of faiths and cultures other than Christianity, limiting their preparation for life in modern Britain.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders maintaining well-developed systems, ensuring staff are well trained to identify risks, and keeping thorough records of support provided to families.
