About Moorlands Junior School

Moorlands Junior School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly below the Bath and North East Somerset local authority average, with 56% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a LA average of 62%. That six-point gap places the school 41st out of 52 primary schools in the authority, putting it in the bottom half locally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading is a clear strength: 79% of pupils met the expected standard and 39% achieved the higher standard, both well above the national benchmark. Maths tells a different story, with 63% at expected and 28% at higher, while writing sits at 61% expected and just 14% at higher. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available in the data, so it is hard to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the raw attainment figures suggest reading provision is notably stronger than maths and writing.
