About Cheddar Grove Primary School

Cheddar Grove Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more interesting story. Inspectors awarded the top grade of Outstanding in three of the five categories: behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. Leadership and management was also rated Outstanding, while quality of education was judged Good. On the key academic measure for primary schools, 66% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments. That is comfortably above the local authority average of 58% for Bristol, and it places the school 27th out of 85 primary schools in the city — firmly in the top third. The school also ranks in the top 50% nationally. Compared with its previous inspection in 2013, which also rated overall effectiveness as Good, the school has clearly strengthened its provision in several areas.
