Court-De-Wyck Church School

About Court-De-Wyck Church School

Court-De-Wyck Church School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023. The school's strongest academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined score: 73% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths in the 2023/24 tests. That is twelve percentage points above the North Somerset local authority average of 61%, placing Court-De-Wyck 14th out of 57 primary schools in the area and in the top 25% nationally. The school shows particular strength in maths, where 86% of pupils reached the expected standard with an average scaled score of 106, compared with 82% in both reading and writing. Only 9% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, though 41% did so in maths alone and 23% in reading, suggesting the school reliably secures solid, consistent progress for most children rather than pushing a large proportion to the top tier.

Looking at the Ofsted breakdown, the school's previous graded inspection took place in 2011, when it was also rated Good across leadership, early years provision and overall effectiveness. The 2023 ungraded visit gave a clean bill of health, confirming the school remains Good. For parents comparing options locally, Court-De-Wyck sits just outside the top handful of schools in North Somerset, with peers like Northleaze Church of England Primary School and Winscombe Primary School scoring higher on the same ranking metric. The school's performance is particularly notable given that 18.8% of its 128 pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that suggests the school is serving a mixed catchment while still delivering results comfortably above the local average.

Court-De-Wyck is a small Church of England primary with capacity for 160 pupils, and it is clearly popular. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 35 applications for just 12 places, an oversubscription ratio of nearly 3:1, with 11 of those 12 places going to first-preference applicants. The school offers a Forest School, a chapel, playing fields and a library, and runs clubs including chess, coding, gardening and science. It also has a broad range of SEND provisions, covering dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, speech and language needs, autism, and physical disabilities. For families who value a strong academic baseline in a small, faith-based setting with good outdoor provision, this is a school that delivers results above the local average. Just be prepared to apply early and make it your first choice.
