Check the area around this school
49th of 53 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset we can score, 63 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 3,131 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 among them, against 2.7/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 7 | 35% | 0.24 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about St Keyna Primary School
Overview
St Keyna Primary School is fulfilling the expected standard of education, with pupils in key stages 1 and 2 achieving well and being prepared for secondary school. However, the report identifies weaknesses in the early years curriculum and insufficient oversight by leaders and governors, which slows school improvement.
Strengths
- Pupils are "highly successful" in phonics and multiplication, with outcomes "significantly above the national average."
- Attendance has improved due to a "proactive and supportive approach," with rates now "close to average."
- Staff provide effective support for pupils with special educational needs, using "visual prompts" and tailored resources.
- The PSHE programme is effective, helping pupils develop "confidence" and understand "fundamental British values."
- Parents are "very positive" about the "caring support" and quality of education.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure "stringent and accurate oversight" of all aspects of the school’s work to drive continual improvement.
- The quality of provision in the early years needs improvement, as interactions are "not precise enough" to support language development.
- Teaching should consistently deepen pupils’ understanding, as staff do not always use checks on learning "astutely."
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture" where concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
