About Dulverton Junior School

Dulverton Junior School’s headline academic metrics sit well below the Somerset local authority average for primary schools, which is 59% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Dulverton, just 26% of pupils achieved that combined benchmark in the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, placing the school 131st out of 134 primary schools in the county. That puts it in the bottom 50 nationally for this measure. The gap is stark: the school’s reading expected standard (50%) and writing expected standard (37%) are both lower than the LA average, and maths expected standard (35%) is even further behind. No pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, so it’s not possible to say whether pupils are making typical progress from their starting points, but the raw attainment figures are clearly a concern for parents weighing up options in the Somerset area.
