Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Primary
2.8/10 Below average

65th of 90 primary schools in Bristol, City of we can score, 102 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 — 4.0/10 against 2,978 of them, against 4.0/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 64.0 · 49 40% 1.97

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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.0 out of 10 either way).

Beyond the classroom. A breakfast club is available for pupils.

Getting in. The school has 405 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 15 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 do not reach the expected standard in maths? What are the options for children who finish their day early, given there is no after-school club? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for the remaining 15 places?
