St Benedict's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior School
Glastonbury, BA6 9EX · Somerset · primary school
80th 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 — 4.3/10 against 2,232 of them, against 3.7/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Spanish, Eco-club, Chess, Gardening, Production, Drama, and Dance clubs, as well as Netball, Football, Cricket, Rounders, and Swimming. Choir and Glee Club provide musical opportunities. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 236 pupils in a capacity of 240, leaving 4 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need help catching up in literacy and maths? What are the specific steps taken to secure a place when demand exceeds the 4 remaining spots? How do parents manage the lack of formal wraparound care before and after the school day?
