80th of 90 primary schools in Bristol, City of we can score, 102 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 — 3.4/10 against 124 of them, against 1.7/10 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 | 51.0 · 21 | 62% | 1.28 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Oasis Academy Connaught
Overview
Oasis Academy Connaught is described as a "friendly and inclusive school" where pupils are "happy and enjoy school" due to the kindness shown by staff. While behaviour and personal development are strong, the quality of education and leadership require improvement because the curriculum is not yet taught effectively enough to ensure pupils build coherent knowledge.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from "positive relationships" and feel supported, with staff greeting them warmly and helping new arrivals settle in swiftly.
- Personal development is a "real strength," featuring highly valued mental health support and visits that broaden cultural awareness.
- Behaviour is good, with pupils acting as "anti-bullying champions" and showing purposeful conduct around the school.
- Attendance has improved significantly, with "many more pupils attend[ing] regularly" following relentless work to remove barriers.
- The curriculum is "well-designed" and sets out essential knowledge, with some subjects like geography showing "green shoots" of effective teaching.
Areas to improve
- Teachers must develop the expertise to teach the curriculum effectively, ensuring important knowledge is made explicit so pupils build coherent understanding.
- Assessment checks are not sufficiently precise; the school must ensure assessment informs future curriculum design to prevent gaps in knowledge.
- Early years provision requires improvement, as staff do not yet have a clear understanding of curriculum aims or how to respond routinely to pupils' needs.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
