47th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 1.8/10 against 212 of them, against 1.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

What Ofsted said about E-ACT Hareclive Academy
Overview
This ungraded inspection found that "aspects of the school's work may not be as strong as at the time of the previous inspection," triggering a future graded inspection. Despite recent challenges, the school remains a "nurturing and inclusive" environment where pupils are safe and behaviour is "calm."
Strengths
- Safeguarding arrangements are "effective," with pupils knowing they can speak to staff and receive necessary support.
- Reading is a clear priority; staff have "strong subject knowledge about phonics" and most pupils are ready for the next stage of their education.
- Behaviour has improved significantly, with a decrease in incidents and an "aspirational culture" fostering responsibility.
- Attendance rates are "improving over time" due to effective pastoral support for families.
- Staff feel "well supported" by the trust regarding workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- Staff in some subjects lack sufficient subject and teaching knowledge to implement the curriculum effectively.
- The school does not ensure staff make effective checks of pupils' secure curriculum knowledge, leading to gaps in learning.
- Teaching is not always adapted precisely enough for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), hindering their progress.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
