Midsomer Norton Primary School
Radstock, BA3 2DR · Bath and North East Somerset · primary school
35th of 53 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset we can score, 63 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.1/10 against 2,881 of them, against 6.3/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Gardening Club or Forest school. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 270 pupils in a capacity of 315 places, leaving 45 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the Forest school curriculum integrate with daily lessons? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the breakfast club accommodate dietary requirements?
