47th 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 the 2,551 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 2.9/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 62% | 1.59 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 38% | 1.36 |
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 Wrington Church of England Primary School
Overview
Wrington Church of England Primary School is described as a place where pupils are ‘cherished and nurtured’ within a strong community. The inspection found that pupils are ‘kind and happy’, feel safe, and are encouraged to ‘flourish and aspire’ through high expectations and a broad curriculum. The school is part of the Lighthouse Schools Partnership and was judged ‘Good’ across all key judgement areas, including the quality of education, behaviour, and leadership.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve well in subjects like mathematics and music, developing ‘deep knowledge’ through well-sequenced teaching that builds on prior learning.
- Reading is a high priority; staff effectively teach phonics and ‘fluency sessions’, helping pupils develop a ‘love of reading’.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified early and supported well to achieve specific targets from their starting points.
- Behaviour is excellent, underpinned by the ‘High Five’ system, resulting in pupils who are ‘highly engaged’ and understand discrimination is unfair.
- The school offers enriching opportunities, such as musical pursuits and trips, fostering confidence and social responsibility.
Areas to improve
- Staff must better address handwriting errors, specifically letter formation, to prevent pupils from making repeated mistakes and lacking fluency.
- In some wider curriculum subjects, the most important knowledge is not revisited regularly enough, hindering pupils’ ability to make connections and develop depth of knowledge.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
