About Curry Rivel Church of England VC Primary School

Curry Rivel Church of England VC Primary School has been rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The inspection, which took place in June 2023, awarded Good marks for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. On the most informative exam metric available, the school’s Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 56% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This is slightly below the Somerset local authority average of 59%, placing the school 76th out of 134 primary schools in the county. While the combined figure sits just under the LA benchmark, individual subjects tell a stronger story: 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, and 74% did so in writing.
