22nd 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,174 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2/10 among them, against 5.5/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 41% | 2.32 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.75 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 26% | 1.30 |
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 Somerdale Educate Together Primary Academy
Overview
Somerdale Educate Together Primary Academy is described as an inclusive environment where pupils feel safe, happy, and valued. Leaders have established a well-sequenced curriculum with high expectations, fostering a culture where ‘no one is an outsider, and everyone is included’. The school demonstrates strong support for personal development and effective communication with parents.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit kind, respectful behaviour and move around the school in a ‘calm and orderly way’, with bullying reported as rare.
- Reading is a clear priority, supported by a structured phonics programme and staff who ‘bring the stories to life’.
- Leaders identify and support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well, breaking learning into small steps.
- The curriculum is ambitious and clearly sequenced, particularly in mathematics and history, preparing pupils for their place in the world.
- Governors actively support leaders, checking that improvement work is on track and that pupils are ‘safe and well cared for’.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure all curriculums clearly identify the essential knowledge pupils need to learn, addressing current gaps in subjects like geography and science.
- Staff need to use appropriate checks to establish what pupils already know, ensuring teaching is consistently challenging and deepens knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff are trained, concerns are followed up straightaway, and safer recruitment is given high priority.
