About Bayton CofE Primary School

Bayton CofE Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit comfortably above the Worcestershire local authority average, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 61%. That six-point gap is a solid indicator of above-par performance for a state primary in this area. Digging deeper, reading is a clear strength: every single pupil (100%) met the expected standard, and 40% achieved the higher standard — a notably strong result. Maths is more in line with the LA norm, with 67% at expected and 7% at the higher level. The school’s overall ranking within Malvern Hills places it 15th out of 34 primary schools, putting it in the top half locally and around the 44th percentile. Nationally, it sits just inside the top 38% of all primaries. For a small village school with only 95 pupils, these are respectable, if not headline-grabbing, figures.
