Check the area around this school
6th of 56 primary schools in North Somerset we can score, 64 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 — 7.8/10 against 2,240 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 92 | 35% | 3.20 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Worle Village Primary School
Overview
Worle Village Primary School is described as a small institution where pupils enjoy a "close and caring community" and a "clear sense of belonging." The report highlights that leaders have embedded a positive culture, resulting in high-quality teaching, strong pupil achievement, and effective support for vulnerable students.
Strengths
- Pupils "make good progress and achieve well across the curriculum," with results often exceeding national averages, including for disadvantaged pupils.
- Attendance is high and behaviour is excellent; the school environment is a "happy place to be" with "calm and focused" classrooms.
- Teaching is "high-quality," using research-based methods, clear sequencing, and effective feedback to help pupils grasp new concepts.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is highly effective, ensuring they can "access the same education as their peers."
- Personal development is a "significant strength," with pupils showing empathy, maturity, and confidence through a rich range of experiences.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should "further develop how adults interact with children in the early years" to maximise learning opportunities, as the quality of questioning and interactions is currently inconsistent.
