About Somerset Bridge Primary School

Somerset Bridge Primary School sits within the Somerset local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11. Among the 219 primary schools in the county, it ranks 40th, placing it comfortably in the top 50. Its ranking score of 69 puts it behind the top three local peers — Combe St Nicholas Church of England VA Primary School, Kingfisher Primary School, and Preston CofE Primary School — but ahead of the vast majority of Somerset primaries. The school is led by headteacher Kevin Bryant and has a non-religious character, with no nursery or sixth form provision. It is a popular choice for local families: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 101 applications for 60 places, with 70 of those as first preferences, making it oversubscribed by a ratio of 1.68 to 1. That level of demand reflects its standing in the local landscape as a solidly performing option for parents seeking a state primary in the area.
