St Joseph and St Teresa Catholic Primary School
Wells, BA5 2QL · Somerset · primary school
47th 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 3,590 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 5.5/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 62% | 3.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 38% | 2.36 |
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, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8 out of 10 among them, against 5.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access tennis, athletics, rugby, martial arts, hockey, netball, and dance. Year 5 and 6 students attend a residential trip to Skern Lodge. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 156 pupils in a capacity of 154 places, meaning it is over capacity by 2. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard? What specific activities are included in the residential trip? How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity?
