Mixed Primary Church of England
0.8/10 Well below average

80th of 82 primary schools in South Gloucestershire we can score, 93 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 4,306 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.2/10 among them, against 0.8/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 38.0 · 7 62% 0.42
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 0.0 · 10 38% 0.40

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, 38.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.2 out of 10 among them, against 0.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Daily Mile, sports leadership, and various athletics and team sports events.

Getting in. The school has 197 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 13 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not meeting expected standards in core subjects? What specific strategies are used to improve attainment in reading and maths? How does the school engage parents in monitoring their child’s progress?
