Nova Primary School
About Nova Primary School
Nova Primary School sits in the middle of the pack for Bristol primary schools, with an Ofsted Good rating that aligns with the most common outcome across the city’s 101 state primaries. Only nine schools in the local authority have reached Outstanding, and the nearest one, Elmlea Junior School, is 4.4 kilometres away. The school’s overall effectiveness has been consistently Good across its two most recent inspections, in 2015 and 2022, with no downgrade or upgrade. That stability is worth noting, but it also means Nova isn’t pushing into the top tier of local performers. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 58, a figure that gives a useful benchmark for how pupils here might compare when national test results are published. Without Nova’s own KS2 data in the record, parents will want to check the school’s most recent published SATs outcomes to see whether it beats, matches, or falls short of that LA average.
