About Longvernal Primary School

Longvernal Primary School, a state primary for children aged 2 to 11 in Bath and North East Somerset, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023. That inspection was notably strong: while the overall effectiveness and quality of education were judged Good, inspectors awarded the top grade of Outstanding for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes, as well as for leadership and management. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. At 67%, this figure sits above the local authority average of 62%, placing Longvernal 20th out of 52 primary schools in the area. Nationally, it ranks in the 40th percentile, a solid mid-table result that reflects consistent, if not spectacular, academic performance.
