About All Saints Church of England Primary School

All Saints Church of England Primary School in North Somerset holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent graded inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (the RWM measure), which sits at 75% for the 2023/24 academic year. That figure places the school comfortably above the local authority average of 61%, and ranks it 10th out of 57 primary schools in North Somerset — putting it in the top 25% nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 75 reflects solid, above-average performance, though it sits behind local peers such as Northleaze Church of England Primary School (score 88) and Winscombe Primary School (84). Ofsted’s 2023 ungraded inspection confirmed that the school remains Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. The previous graded inspection in 2012 likewise awarded Good overall, with early years provision rated Outstanding at that time.

Digging deeper into the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the school shows particular strength in reading: 88% of pupils reached the expected standard, and 63% achieved the higher standard — a notably strong figure. Writing also saw 88% at expected, with 19% at the higher level, while maths had 81% at expected and 38% at higher. The average scaled scores tell a similar story: reading averaged 110, maths 106. The combined RWM expected figure of 75% is well above the North Somerset average of 61%, and the school’s national percentile ranking of roughly 20th places it among the stronger performers in the country. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it’s not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the raw attainment figures are clearly above the local norm. With only 5.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a relatively advantaged intake, which may partly explain the strong results.

The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 41 applications for 13 places, a ratio of 3.15 applicants per place, with all 13 first-preference applicants offered a spot. Facilities include a sports hall, playing fields, a forest school, an ICT suite, a library, and a chapel, reflecting its Church of England foundation. Sports on offer include tennis, netball, athletics and football, while clubs range from art and science to drama, choir and chess. The school’s SEND provisions cover specific learning difficulties (including dyslexia), speech, language and communication needs, social, emotional and mental health support, and other difficulties or disabilities. With 121 pupils against a capacity of 131, the school is near full but not overcrowded. This is a small, church-affiliated primary that suits families prioritising strong academic outcomes in a supportive, well-resourced setting, particularly those who can secure a place in a competitive admissions context.
