Check the area around this school
53rd of 53 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset we can score, 63 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 — 0.2/10 against 1,189 of them, against 0.5/10 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 | 28.0 · 2 | 40% | 0.09 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 35% | 0.03 |
| 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.

How it's doing

The higher standard was reached by 0.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%.

What Ofsted said about Roundhill Primary School
Overview
Roundhill Primary School is an improving institution where leaders have taken "decisive action" following periods of instability. While pupils "typically enjoy attending" and feel safe, academic achievement and attendance remain below national averages, with many improvements still at an "early stage." The report confirms the school no longer requires special measures.
Strengths
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture" where concerns are actively identified and managed.
- Staff morale is high, with staff feeling "valued, listened to and supported" by the new leadership team.
- Recent improvements in reading and mathematics mean more pupils are acquiring appropriate knowledge and skills.
- Leaders have built "positive relationships with parents and carers," fostering open communication and trust.
- The curriculum is described as "broad, balanced and ambitious," with a sharp focus on early reading and phonics.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure teachers plan lessons matched to pupils' starting points, as some tasks are currently "too hard or too easy."
- Pupils need to develop "fluent and accurate writing" to be well prepared for the next stage of their education.
- The personal development curriculum must better develop pupils' understanding of "fundamental British values and cultural diversity."
Safeguarding
The report states that safeguarding standards are met, noting that leaders have established an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and that "pupils are made safer and feel safe."
