North Curry CofE Primary School
Taunton, TA3 6NQ · Somerset · primary school
3rd 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 2,385 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.5/10 among them, against 9.1/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 62% | 5.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 32.0 · 99 | 38% | 3.79 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 32.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.5 out of 10 among them, against 9.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Creative, Games and Film, Bell Ringing, and Recorder Clubs, alongside football, multiskills, cricket, and rounders. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 148 pupils in a building with 175 places, leaving 27 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What does the after-school club typically involve? How do you maintain the high standards seen in the similar-intake comparison?
