About Mendip Green Primary School

Mendip Green Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in North Somerset, but its headline Key Stage 2 results tell a slightly more nuanced story. The school's proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 57%, which is a touch below the local authority average of 61%. That places it 39th out of 57 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the league table. However, the picture isn't uniformly weaker. In writing, 78% of pupils met the expected standard, and in reading it was 69% — both respectable figures. Where the school really lags is at the higher end: only 4% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and just 4% did so in writing. Maths and reading higher scores were 16% and 29% respectively. So while the school is broadly in line with many local primaries on core expectations, it struggles to push a significant proportion of children into the top performance brackets.
