About Shirehampton Primary School

Shirehampton Primary School sits in the bottom half of Bristol primary schools when ranked by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, placing 64th out of 85 schools in the local authority. Its 47% achieving that benchmark falls noticeably short of the Bristol LA average of 58%, a gap of 11 percentage points that gives a clear sense of where the school’s headline challenge lies. That said, the school is not a low-performer across the board: its average reading score of 101 is solid, and 58% of pupils met the expected standard in reading specifically, which is exactly in line with the LA average. The maths picture is weaker, with 59% reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 99, while writing lags further behind at 53%. Only 5% of pupils hit the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school’s national ranking places it in the bottom 50% of primaries on this metric.
