About Bridport, St Mary's Church of England Primary School

Bridport, St Mary's Church of England Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other primaries in Dorset. Its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 school year show that 41% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is 15 percentage points below the local authority average of 56%. That places the school 56th out of 68 primaries in the county, putting it in the bottom half of Dorset schools. The picture is similar when you look at the higher standard: just 4% of pupils achieved that level across all three subjects. Reading is the school's strongest area, with 52% reaching the expected standard and 11% hitting the higher mark, while maths and writing both sit at 41% and 48% respectively for expected attainment. The average scaled scores tell a similar story — 100 in reading and 98 in maths — both slightly below national benchmarks. So while this is not a school that tops local league tables, it serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage, with 29.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals.
