Check the area around this school
78th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.2/10 against 856 of them, against 1.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 62% | 1.36 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Easton CofE Primary School
Overview
Easton CofE Primary School is described as a "diverse, inclusive school" where pupils feel "safe and welcome." While behaviour and personal development are rated as good, the quality of education and leadership require improvement due to a curriculum that is not yet broad enough and inconsistent assessment practices.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "respect and kindness" in relationships, contributing to a "harmonious and calm" environment where learning is rarely interrupted.
- Staff provide "high-quality pastoral support" and effectively identify additional needs, ensuring pupils with SEND access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Early years provision is effective, with staff building vocabulary from the start and children beginning to learn to read immediately.
- The school fosters strong community ties, using relationships with families to reduce absenteeism and help pupils "appreciate the common ground" of different backgrounds.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum is "not broad enough," and recent changes to assessment are "not embedded," meaning the school cannot assure itself that pupils gain sufficient knowledge.
- Pupils’ written work does not consistently demonstrate their knowledge; the school must ensure writing "reflects the curriculum that they learn."
- Leaders have been "too slow to take action to improve the curriculum," resulting in pupils not being well prepared for their next stage in education.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
