Farmborough Church Primary School

About Farmborough Church Primary School

Farmborough Church Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Bath and North East Somerset, a local authority where seven of 63 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself ranks 17th out of 52 primaries in the LA on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top third locally. Its closest Outstanding-rated neighbour is St Mary's CofE Primary School, 2.1 kilometres away, while the top-performing peers in the authority include Freshford Church School, St Julian's Church School and Shoscombe Church School. With 150 pupils against a capacity of 175, the school is undersubscribed in terms of total places but oversubscribed for its reception intake: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 44 applications for 25 places, with 23 first-preference offers made from 24 first-preference applications. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.76, meaning competition is real but not fierce. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2024, judged it Good overall, with personal development rated Outstanding — a notable strength that parents may want to weigh alongside the school's academic profile.
