Check the area around this school
34th 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 — 6.2/10 against 4,266 of them, against 6.6/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| 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 Kingsbury Episcopi Primary School
Overview
Kingsbury Episcopi Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils and staff live up to the mission of ‘success through teamwork’. The report highlights a strong sense of community, with older pupils setting a good example and disruption to learning being rare. While English and mathematics are taught effectively with precise curriculum steps, the report notes that this success is not mirrored in some other subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils are ‘keen to learn and concentrate on their work’, with high attendance and rare bullying.
- The curriculum in English and mathematics is set out in ‘precise steps’, allowing pupils to build knowledge rigorously.
- Staff build ‘warm relationships’ and listen respectfully, promoting pupils’ confidence to ask for help.
- Leaders provide opportunities for personal development, such as the ‘choose love’ project, helping pupils understand tolerance and democracy.
- The new early reading curriculum breaks learning into small steps, helping pupils, including those with SEND, to read fluently.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must explicitly identify ‘essential knowledge’ in subjects other than English and mathematics so teachers can plan precisely.
- Leaders need to develop their understanding of the effectiveness of the curriculum in all subject areas and make adaptations where necessary.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff being vigilant, appropriately trained, and using systems to report concerns effectively.
