Mixed Primary Church of England
1.3/10 Well below average

146th 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 the 4,227 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6/10 among them, against 1.3/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 47.0 · 15 62% 0.92
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 0.0 · 10 38% 0.40

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

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 47.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.6 out of 10 among them, against 1.3 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 236 pupils in a capacity of 230, meaning it is over capacity by 6. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What support is available for pupils who have not yet met the expected standard? How does the curriculum address the gap between the school’s results and the national median?
