St Dunstan's School
Glastonbury, BA6 9BY · Somerset · secondary school
6th of 28 secondary schools in Somerset we can score, 35 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 — 7.5/10 against 794 of them, against 6.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 51.1 · 67 | 30% | 2.01 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.08 · 56 | 25% | 1.39 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.7 · 50 | 10% | 0.50 |
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. In 2024/25, 51.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.08 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.0 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Student Council, Enrichment Week, and Work Experience.
Getting in. The school has 509 pupils in a capacity of 670, leaving 161 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils during the transition from Key Stage 3 to 4? What specific support is available for students aiming for higher grades in English and maths? How does the Student Council influence school decisions?
