About Kingsbury Episcopi Primary School

Kingsbury Episcopi Primary School punches well above the local average for primary schools in Somerset. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (the key KS2 benchmark) sits at 59%, this school achieves a striking 89%. That gap of 30 percentage points is substantial and places the school fourth out of 134 primary schools in the county, comfortably inside the top 5% nationally. It is also one of only a handful of Somerset primaries to rank this highly, sitting just behind the top three peers in the LA. For a small village school with 124 pupils, these headline figures suggest a focused, effective approach to core learning that clearly works for its cohort.
