East Brent Church of England First School
About East Brent Church of England First School
East Brent Church of England First School is a small state primary in Somerset with just 69 pupils on roll, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. That puts it in the majority of Somerset’s 219 primary schools, where only six hold an Outstanding rating. The school’s local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 59 per cent, but East Brent doesn’t publish its own KS2 results in the available data, so it’s not possible to say whether it beats or trails that benchmark. What is clear from the inspection history is that this is a school on an upward trajectory: its previous graded inspection in 2012 found it Requires Improvement, and the 2025 ungraded inspection confirmed that standards have been maintained since the upgrade to Good. That kind of sustained improvement, combined with a strong parent view — 97 per cent of respondents would recommend the school — suggests a setting that has found its feet.
