St Louis Catholic Primary School, Frome
Frome, BA11 3AP · Somerset · primary school
68th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.7/10 against 3,545 of them, against 4.7/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 52.0 · 22 | 62% | 1.36 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 38% | 3.35 |
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, 52.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.7 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access Bath Rugby, Somerset County Cricket Club, Dance, Liberty Gymnastics, Yoga, Bikeability, and Swimming.
Getting in. The school has 186 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 24 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who fall below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific support is available for children who do not attend a breakfast or after-school club? How does the curriculum integrate the external sports partnerships with daily physical education?
