Somerton, TA11 6FQ · Somerset · primary school

Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
0.5/10 Well below average

154th of 156 primary schools in Somerset we can score, 219 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 — 0.3/10 against 2,753 of them, against 0.6/10 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.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 32.0 · 4 40% 0.14
Ofsted 3 35% 0.11

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 32.0% 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. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in July 2024.

Getting in. The school has 368 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 52 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to raise attainment from 32.0% to the national median of 64%? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? Does the school offer any breakfast or after-school clubs for families needing wraparound support?
