Check the area around this school
85th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.0/10 against 2,557 of them, against 1.3/10 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 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| 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 Redfield Educate Together Primary Academy
Overview
The report states that pupils "do not receive a good quality of education" due to unclear curriculum sequencing in some subjects, which prevents them from building deep understanding. While the school has experienced "staffing and leadership instability," a recently appointed acting headteacher has brought stability, and "robust plans are now in place" for improvement, though it is "too early to see the impact."
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy school, describing it as a place to "express their personality" and feel part of a community.
- Reading is prioritised effectively; pupils love reading and use a "carefully sequenced phonic programme" to build fluency.
- Staff form positive relationships, enabling pupils to feel safe and trust adults with concerns.
- The ‘Learn Together’ curriculum helps pupils understand concepts such as equality and positive relationships.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with an "open and positive culture" that puts pupils’ interests first.
Areas to improve
- The trust must ensure all subjects identify the important knowledge pupils need to learn and when, as current gaps hinder long-term retention.
- Teachers must deliver the planned curriculum effectively, improving subject knowledge and using assessment to check learning is secure for all pupils, including those with SEND.
- Staff must maintain consistently high expectations of behaviour, as some pupils display negative attitudes and disrupt others.
- The early years curriculum must be more ambitious to ensure children gain the knowledge and skills needed to be well prepared for Year 1.
Safeguarding
The report confirms that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
