About Bisley Blue Coat Church of England Primary School

Bisley Blue Coat Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The most telling academic metric for this small primary school is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 43% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school significantly below the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59%, and ranks it 49th out of 52 primary schools in the Stroud district. The school's ranking score of 43 puts it in the bottom 50 tier nationally, at the 88th percentile. While the reading average score of 108 is a bright spot, with 71% of pupils reaching the expected standard and 43% achieving a higher score, the picture is more mixed in writing and maths, where only 43% and 57% of pupils respectively met the expected standard.
