About Glenfrome Primary School

Glenfrome Primary School sits slightly above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 60% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to the Bristol average of 58%. That two-percentage-point gap is modest but consistent across individual subjects: 75% hit the expected standard in reading, 67% in writing, and 63% in maths. Where the school really stands out is in reading at the higher standard — 33% of pupils achieved that level, a strong figure that suggests the school is particularly effective at stretching its more able readers. Maths and writing at the higher standard are lower, at 5% each, which is more in line with national patterns. The school ranks 39th out of 85 primary schools in Bristol, placing it just inside the top half locally. Its national percentile of 57.6 puts it slightly above the median for all primary schools in England.
