Check the area around this school
63rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.2/10 against 1,202 of them, against 1.9/10 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 | 41.0 · 9 | 40% | 0.35 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Tyndale Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 41.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 4.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join Performing Arts, Dance, Choir, Cooking, Art and Craft, Coding, Lego, and Book Clubs. Sports include football, tennis, badminton, basketball, rounders, cricket, archery, and athletics. Music lessons cover singing, percussion, recorders, violins, and saxophones. A breakfast club is available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 200 pupils against a stated capacity of 240. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Tyndale Primary School
Overview
Tyndale Primary School is described as a place where "everyone is welcome as part of the ‘Tyndale Family’," with strong relationships rooted in respect and ambition. The report states that the overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision are all "Good."
Strengths
- Pupils are "inquisitive and engaging," behave well, and feel safe, knowing a "trusted adult will help them if they have any worries."
- There is a "sharp focus on reading," with books "well matched to the letters and sounds they know," helping pupils become "confident, fluent readers."
- Children in Reception make a "strong start," benefiting from a curriculum that supports understanding in all areas of learning.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "well supported," with staff adapting the curriculum effectively and working in partnership with parents.
- Pupils develop a strong sense of justice and respect for other cultures, talking confidently about British values such as democracy.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the way the curriculum is taught is "not best suited to exactly what it is that pupils need to learn," meaning pupils’ understanding is not fully developed.
- In some subjects, teachers’ use of assessment is "not fully developed," so they do not always form an accurate picture of how successfully pupils learn the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
