Check the area around this school
33rd 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 4,217 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.3/10 among them, against 4.2/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 40% | 1.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.79 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.67 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

St Saviour’s Junior Church School continues to be a good school, described as a "welcoming and caring" environment where pupils are proud members of the community. Leaders maintain an accurate view of the school’s strengths and areas for development, ensuring high expectations are met across the curriculum.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well-thought-out" and matches national ambitions, with leaders breaking down important knowledge into "well-ordered steps" in most subjects.
- Pupils behave well, listen attentively, and are "polite and courteous," creating a calm atmosphere that supports learning for all, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Reading is a clear priority; staff are "well trained to support struggling readers" and use high-quality texts to develop vocabulary.
- Mathematics teaching is strong, with teachers using "common misconceptions" to support understanding and setting high expectations for all pupils.
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with a "strong culture of safeguarding" and meticulous record-keeping to protect pupils.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should finalise subject curriculums in areas where the sequence of knowledge is not yet established, ensuring teachers have the guidance needed to build pupils’ learning over time.
