High Ham Church of England Primary School

About High Ham Church of England Primary School

High Ham Church of England Primary School sits in the middle of the pack when compared with other primary schools in Somerset. Its key metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 57%, just two points below the local authority average of 59%. That places the school 72nd out of 219 primary schools in the county, or roughly in the 67th percentile. It is not a standout performer, but nor is it trailing; it is solidly average for its area. The school’s Progress 8 scores for reading, writing and maths are all missing from the data, so it is hard to say whether pupils here make stronger or weaker gains than peers elsewhere. What is clear is that High Ham is a small village primary — just 162 pupils against a capacity of 180 — with a Church of England character and a headteacher, Ann Edwards, who has been in post long enough to see the school through its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022.
