Check the area around this school
39th of 56 primary schools in North Somerset we can score, 64 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 3,615 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.4/10 among them, against 3.0/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Mendip Green Primary School
Overview
Mendip Green Primary School is described as having an “aspiring atmosphere” that is “calm and welcoming.” Pupils feel safe, build trusted relationships with adults, and are motivated to learn both academically and socially. The school provides strong pastoral care and an ambitious curriculum, though consistency in subject delivery requires attention.
Strengths
- Leaders maintain “consistently high expectations” and act as effective role models, fostering polite and respectful behaviour.
- The curriculum is “ambitious” and “well-planned” in most subjects, helping pupils build knowledge over time.
- Reading is a priority, with staff acting quickly to support those falling behind, ensuring pupils become “confident and fluent readers.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “included fully” and receive effective tailored support.
- Personal development is well thought out, teaching pupils about healthy lifestyles, consent, and how to “challenge discrimination.”
Areas to improve
- The curriculum is not consistently implemented across a few foundation subjects, meaning teachers do not always clarify what pupils need to learn next to deepen understanding.
- In some foundation subjects, leaders lack sufficient awareness of how well pupils have understood what has been taught.
- Leaders have further work to do to improve attendance rates, as the absence of some pupils remains too high.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff being vigilant, record-keeping thorough, and systems for checking staff suitability robust.
