16th of 53 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset we can score, 63 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 3,194 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.0/10 among them, against 7.3/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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 East Harptree Church of England Primary School
Overview
East Harptree Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school. It is described as an “inclusive and welcoming” environment where pupils feel safe, behave positively, and enjoy a calm, orderly atmosphere. Leaders maintain high expectations, and staff are supported effectively, resulting in a strong sense of community and pride among both pupils and staff.
Strengths
- Leaders prioritise reading, ensuring children learn to read early with books that “match the sounds they are learning,” helping them gain confidence and catch up quickly if they struggle.
- The curriculum is carefully planned, with key knowledge and vocabulary broken down into small steps, particularly in mathematics, allowing pupils to solve complex problems effectively.
- Staff provide “timely and effective support” for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, enabling them to learn the same curriculum as their peers within an inclusive ethos.
- Pupils develop strong personal qualities, understanding the difference between right and wrong, and showing tolerance of other cultures and faiths.
- Governors hold leaders to account through “challenging questions” and are considerate of staff workload, fostering a supportive professional environment.
Areas to improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, checks on pupil learning are “not yet fully developed,” hindering leaders’ ability to adapt the curriculum quickly to meet pupil needs.
- Subject leaders should check what pupils know and remember in their subjects and use this information to inform future learning, as they currently lack a clear understanding of how well pupils are learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust systems in place to prioritise pupils’ safety, high-quality staff training, and swift action to support families in need.
