About Farrington Gurney Church of England Primary School

Farrington Gurney Church of England Primary School sits almost exactly in the middle of the pack when compared with other primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset. Its key headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — is 62%, which is bang on the local authority average. That places it 27th out of 52 primaries in the area, a solidly mid-table position. The school is a small Church of England state primary with just 93 pupils on roll, and it's noticeably oversubscribed: for its 10 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 29 applications, with all 10 first-preference families offered a spot. That level of demand suggests local parents see something worth fighting for, even if the raw results don't push beyond the LA norm.
