Kingston St Mary Church of England Primary School
Taunton, TA2 8JH · Somerset · primary school
150th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,891 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 1.2/10 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 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 35% | 0.02 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6 out of 10 among them, against 1.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Computer and Code Club, Country Dancing, Gymnastics, Rounders, and Football. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 112 pupils in a capacity of 119 places, leaving 7 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 45.0% meeting expected standards, how does the school support pupils who are working below the national median? Since the school is near capacity, what is the process for securing a place if you move into the area? How does the recent Good inspection influence current teaching priorities?
