About Bridport Primary School

Bridport Primary School sits within the Dorset local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11. In the most recent local rankings of similar schools, it placed 23rd out of 119, placing it comfortably within the top half of its peers. The three highest-ranked primaries in the area are Spetisbury CofE Primary School, St Ives Primary & Nursery School, and Sticklands Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, all of which achieved higher ranking scores. Bridport’s own ranking score of 64 puts it in the top 50 nationally for its key stage 2 expected standard measure. The school is led by headteacher Michaela Kite and has a current roll of 288 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning there is room for growth. Just under a fifth of pupils (19.8 per cent) are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average and gives some indication of the school’s intake.
