St Katherine's School
Bristol, BS20 0HU · North Somerset · secondary school
8th of 11 secondary schools in North Somerset we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 5.9/10 against 929 of them, against 5.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 15 | 35% | 0.51 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 47.1 · 59 | 30% | 1.76 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.07 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 50.0 · 71 | 10% | 0.71 |
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, 47.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 50.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.07 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and Trailblazers clubs, take instrumental lessons, and visit Tate Modern and the National Portrait Gallery.
Getting in. The school has 998 pupils in a capacity of 1001 places, leaving 3 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 3 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new starters? How does the school support pupils to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific support is available for students aiming to raise their Attainment 8?
