St Philip's CofE Primary School
Bath, BA2 2BN · Bath and North East Somerset · primary school
2nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.8/10 against 4,227 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 62% | 5.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 38% | 3.21 |
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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 15.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Dance Classes with Xavier, play Cricket with Bath Cricket Club, and do Orienteering with Jane. Trips include Longleat Safari Park, Chew Valley Animal Park, and a Reception visit to the farm. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 277 pupils in a school with 280 places, leaving 3 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need care before or after the school day, given the lack of wraparound clubs? With only 3 places remaining, what is the process for securing a spot if a place becomes available? How do the specific partnerships with Bath Cricket Club and Xavier shape the daily timetable?
