Check the area around this school
51st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.8/10 against 2,740 of them, against 2.9/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.03 |
| Ofsted | 8 | 35% | 0.27 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Milton Park Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 4.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. 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 (2.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.9 out of 10 against all schools). The school was inspected in March 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.
Getting in
The published school roll is 327 pupils against a stated capacity of 420. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the new inspection framework affect the current teaching priorities?
What Ofsted said about Milton Park Primary School
Overview
Milton Park Primary School is described as a place where pupils "enjoy learning" and feel "safe, valued and respected." The report highlights a "calm and purposeful learning environment" supported by strong relationships between staff and pupils. While the school meets the expected standard in most areas, it notes that pupil achievement has been "inconsistent" over the last three years, particularly in reading and mathematics.
Strengths
- Leaders have implemented a "well-planned, ambitious curriculum" with content that is "relevant and accessible" to all pupils, including those with special educational needs.
- The school fosters an "inclusive culture" where staff provide "personalised and effective support," including a dedicated special educational needs unit.
- Pupils demonstrate positive behaviour, guided by school values of "Resilience, Respect and Responsibility," and bullying is reported as "rare."
- Early years provision is strong, with children making a "positive start" and forming "secure bonds" with peers and staff.
- Safeguarding procedures are "precise and rigorous," creating an "open culture" where concerns are actively managed.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must continue to embed the new reading curriculum to ensure pupil attainment in reading increases and pupils are "well prepared for their next stage of education."
- Leaders should refine attendance monitoring to support disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs to "attend well," as absence rates remain above the national average.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and ensuring pupils are "made safer and feel safe."
