St Mark's CofE School
Bath, BA1 6ND · Bath and North East Somerset · secondary school
3rd of 14 secondary schools in Bath and North East Somerset we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.1/10 against 740 of them, against 6.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 85 | 35% | 2.98 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 44.2 · 51 | 30% | 1.52 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.74 · 92 | 25% | 2.31 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.9 · 45 | 10% | 0.45 |
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, 44.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.9, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.74 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh award and participate in athletics, basketball, rugby, football, cricket, cross-country, hockey, and rounders. Trips include Barcelona, Paris, Madrid, Kilve Court, Morfa Bay, The Globe Theatre, and a ski-trip.
Getting in. There are 253 pupils in a school with 513 places, leaving 260 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils’ progress in English and maths given the recent inspection? What specific support is available for students aiming for the Duke of Edinburgh award? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual attention during lessons?
