In the local authority’s rankings for Key Stage 2 outcomes, it sits at 98th out of 134 primary schools, placing it in the bottom half of Somerset’s state primaries. The top-performing peers in the area include Combe St Nicholas Church of England VA Primary School, Kingfisher Primary School, and Preston CofE Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric.
