About Haywood Village Academy

Haywood Village Academy sits in an interesting position within North Somerset’s primary landscape. Its key stage 2 results show 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is six percentage points above the local authority average of 61%. That gap is modest but meaningful, and it places the school 22nd out of 57 primaries in the area, putting it comfortably in the top half of local schools. The school is also one of only four primaries in North Somerset rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a distinction it earned in its most recent graded inspection and has maintained through a subsequent ungraded visit. That combination — above-average attainment and a top-tier Ofsted grade — makes it a strong option for families who want proven outcomes without the pressure of a selective or private setting.
