Bridge Farm Primary School
About Bridge Farm Primary School
Bridge Farm Primary School sits comfortably above the Bristol local authority average for Key Stage 2, with 69% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 58%. That eleven-point gap is a meaningful one, placing the school 16th out of 85 primaries in the city and inside the top 20% nationally. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, awarded in June 2024, which marks a change from its previous Outstanding grade in 2013. Every inspected category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged Good. For parents weighing up options in Bristol, this is a school whose headline metrics suggest solid, above-average performance without the top-tier Ofsted label.
