Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Primary
2.7/10 Below average

127th of 156 primary schools in Somerset we can score, 219 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.0/10 against 1,403 of them, against 3.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.8 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Cricket Club and Sports Council, or play benchball, dodgeball, capture the flag, athletics, handball, table tennis, swimming, or hockey. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 409 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 11 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 specific activities does the Sports Council organise for the wider year group? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning curriculum?
