St George's Catholic School

Taunton, TA1 3NR · Somerset · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
4.4/10 Broadly average

75th 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 3,414 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 among them, against 4.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2 out of 10 among them, against 4.0 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 219 pupils in a school with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 9. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning routine for early arrivals?
