St John's Mead Church of England Primary School
Bristol, BS37 6EE · South Gloucestershire · primary school
72nd of 82 primary schools in South Gloucestershire we can score, 93 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 4,274 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.4/10 among them, against 1.2/10 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 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| 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
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.4 out of 10 among them, against 1.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Eco Club and School Council, play netball, gymnastics, athletics, tag rugby, football, swimming, and dance, and learn flute, fife, recorder, guitars, ukulele, keyboard, piano, and violin. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 338 pupils in a building with 315 places, meaning it is over capacity by 23. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the high demand for places given the current over-capacity status?
