About Kings' Forest Primary School

Kings' Forest Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. In its 2023 ungraded inspection, the school was judged to have remained Good, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits above the South Gloucestershire local authority average of 61%, placing the school 26th out of 69 primary schools in the area. It also ranks within the top 50% nationally, at the 40th percentile. While the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in all three subjects is low at 3%, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: 30% of pupils reached the higher standard in reading, and 23% did so in maths.
