Somerset Bridge Primary School
Bridgwater, TA6 6AH · Somerset · primary school
58th of 156 primary schools in Somerset we can score, 219 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 — 5.7/10 against 2,587 of them, against 4.9/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a choir, and the school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 407 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 13 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 13 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new starters? How does the curriculum support pupils who have not yet reached the higher standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the after-school club?
