Check the area around this school
37th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.9/10 against 1,253 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 13 | 35% | 0.45 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Oldmixon Primary School
Overview
Oldmixon Primary School is described as an inclusive institution where pupils enjoy learning and feel a strong sense of belonging. The report highlights that children are well prepared for the next stages of their education, with particular praise for the early years provision and the support given to disadvantaged pupils.
Strengths
- The early years provision is of a "strong standard," with staff being "highly responsive to, children’s needs" and ensuring children feel emotionally secure.
- There is a "strongly inclusive culture" where leaders effectively identify and meet the needs of disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs.
- Pupils behave very well, creating a "calm, orderly atmosphere" where learning is rarely disturbed.
- Staff have "warm, positive relationships" with pupils, who speak enthusiastically about school events and feel safe.
- Disadvantaged pupils often achieve better than their national peers, particularly in mathematics.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should strengthen teaching so that more pupils build "detailed, in-depth knowledge" and achieve higher standards in reading, writing, and mathematics.
- Leaders should continue to embed work to raise attendance, as some pupils’ absence remains too high.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively identified and managed.
