Almondsbury Church of England Primary School holds an Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a status it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2017 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023.

On the key academic metric for primary schools, 64% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 assessments.
