About Ash Church of England Primary School

Ash Church of England Primary School in Somerset has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection from February 2024, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2021. The school now holds Good grades for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. With 139 pupils on roll against a capacity of 150, it is a small village primary that has clearly turned a corner. The most telling academic metric available is the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment, which sits at 59 per cent. While Ash’s own KS2 results are not published in this data, the school’s improved Ofsted judgement and its oversubscribed status — 28 applications for 14 places in the 2025/26 admissions round — suggest parents see real value here.
