Bourton-on-the-Water Primary School
About Bourton-on-the-Water Primary School
Bourton-on-the-Water Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 result sits below the local authority average for Gloucestershire primary schools. The school reports that 50% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 59%. That nine-point gap places it in the bottom half of schools nationally on this metric, ranking 136th out of 243 primaries in the county. The school’s own data shows a mixed picture across individual subjects: 75% of children reached the expected level in writing, but only 69% did so in reading and maths. At the higher standard, just 4% of pupils achieved the top mark in all three subjects, with maths the weakest area at 15% reaching greater depth, while reading and writing managed 19% and 10% respectively. These figures suggest that while the school serves a broad range of abilities, its overall academic performance is notably lower than what most Gloucestershire primaries achieve.
