33rd 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 4,017 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 4.1/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.58 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.79 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.13 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Leaders have created a "happy and united community" with staff who are proud of their work and well-supported. The curriculum is ambitious and well-structured in key subjects, though some areas require refinement to ensure consistent depth of learning.
Strengths

Areas to improve
