About Mead Vale Community Primary School

Mead Vale Community Primary School in North Somerset has turned a corner academically, with its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2024 awarding a Good rating across the board, a clear step up from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2022. The standout metric is the Early Years provision, which was rated Outstanding, suggesting the school gets the foundations right. At Key Stage 2, 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is above the North Somerset local authority average of 61%. That places the school 20th out of 57 primary schools in the area, putting it comfortably in the top half. While only 6% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three subjects, individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story: reading and writing both saw 78% of pupils at expected levels, with maths slightly lower at 75%. Average scaled scores of 105 in reading and 103 in maths are solid, and the school ranks in the top 40% nationally.
